where to find bbs/bbs style wheels
ok i just wanted to know if anyone knew of a company who made the multispoke bbs style wheels in black with a large lip...
i know its alot to ask for but id really like to find something like that.
i know many companies make bbs style wheels but are there any reputable brands that make them in black with a large chrome lip?

You can get Work Termist TM-1 (?) or Volk SF Winning if you want a mesh style wheel.
There's also a company called "Luff" that makes a wheel that's essentially a replica of the BBS LM. Not sure if Luff is a quality company since I've only recently heard of them...

Yea I just now saw those luff wheels they look great except the fact that they don’t seem to have that large of a lip. Or at least on the pictures ive seen.
Also another issue lies in size. The only thing I do know is that I want a wider lip in the rear. I think it looks great. At the same time I don’t want to have stretched tires or real expensive tires
So what’s the consensus on what others typically get?
Also what about 18s instead of 19s. In the Honda world 15s were normal and 16 were ok but larger... to me 19s sound large especially since I plan on changing up the suspension which might lead to a lowered stance. Does performance take a hit with 19s?
What about like 18x9 in front 18x10 in rear? If I can even find those sizes.
Fill me in, and tell me what u guys think on the subject

www.tirerack.com sells BBS models including LM, RGST (sp?), etc.
Luff are expensive and common applications include BMW and Porsche.
A cheaper alternative to mesh-style is the Axis Penta or Supermesh.

They probably can hold up if you don't do any tracking, but always keep on eye on your tire-pressure because they aren't the strongest wheel on the market.
The reason why the traditional BBS's wheels dont have much lip is because their spoke designs are pretty straight. They stick to a "track and race" formula so the wheels are designed to accomodate big brakes, while the spokes are further away from the brakes to clear them, and or keep heat away.
Work has a similar mesh style that can push the offsets in the back of our Z's to give it that big lip/ offset. Like BhashaZ mentioned, Volk also has the SF-Winnings that are similar to the RSGT's. All these wheels cost some money though. (especially compared to Tenzo's)

BBS wheels such as this one are:
2 piece
forged
You can find plenty of wheels which look like this for $250, but a wheel with similar quality construction will cost you twice as much.
