BBS CH rims for subaru?


grocery getter

Recommended Posts

22lbs for a 17in BBS? Are they cast because that seems heavy for a forged wheel. Still sexy. Not out offset (listed there anyway) I don't believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Edit: reading>me.

Your thinking of the BBS RE wheels which are Rota formula mesh the CH look similar but are more angular in the middle and don't have that step center hole look...

 

formula mesh = BBS RE

Unlike the BBS RE wheels which are forged and weigh 19lbs for 18's these are cast which added to the weight (23lbs for a 18 inch wheel)

Clearly not forged. I have BBS RJRs and they weigh just under 17lbs each.

If you're really interested in these wheels, check other car forums with a similar bolt pattern (i.e. vwvortex). CH's are pretty common with the VW community. I'm not sure if they will clear brembos, but with that low of an offset, I don't think it should be an issue. As far as people stating "not our offset", don't be held back by the norm. Just about anything is possible:

^So, I''m trying to order these up for myself.

I want to go with 18x8.5 offset aroung 35-40. I called TireRack adn they say that there's only a an offset of 30.

Where did you find your setup?

Anyone else have a better online store recommendation?

Call BBS directly.

See the Sonic Tuning ST100 wheels - they're a BBS CH rep at a much more affordable price. The ST100s have been getting good reviews and there's even a couple of LGT members with them, just haven't seen any pics yet.

 

I'm interested in getting a set in 17" in gunmetal (or perhaps the Sonic Tuning ST8).
