More BBS wheel info...RG-R and RS-GT
Guys, there was some discussion on these wheels a couple of weeks ago.
https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....&highlight=bbs
I was considering these, but went with a different style. A contact I had made has some of these wheels coming in. He's done some dealing on the S2000 boards (www.s2ki.com screen name is Anthonymv....email Anthonymv@aol.com), and the contact I had with him thus far has been great. He has kept in touch with updates, etc. without me having to chase after him like many vendors. He just sent me some updated info today:
BBS is pushing the 19'' RS-GT (2 piece RG-R) because it has a better fit in terms of offset and being flush with the fender as well as clearing the Brembo's and keeping the tire sensor working properly. The next shipment will be here in early March. Below is a link that will take you to BBS Japan and a page about the RS-GT. I have 3 diamond black sets available through my distrutor but obviously they are a big BBS retailer so any quick action by a 350Z owner would be needed to gaurantee a set. I took deposits for the RG-R's I sold to S2000 members and it worked out very well. Also, they will be diamond black but if you look at the picture, they will have a silver lip, so good looking.
19x8.5 offset 30. 19x10 offset 40 $3300 for the set to your door with lug nuts and valve stems.

These are a step up from the RG-R's because they are notjust an inch larger in diameter but they also are multi-piece and forged. That explains the increase of $1000 on the price (18" RG-R's are about $2200). I higly recommend these wheels as BBS has gotten the fotment right with these to help fill those huge fenders while also providing brembo brake clearence and to make sure that the tire sensor works properly.
Also, he is sending me pics very soon that were sent directly to him from the BBS VP of aftermarket sales. I will post them up if someone would kindly host them. Thanks.

Not sure...you'll have to contact Anthony at the email listed above, or check the BBS link for details on the exact sizes. I know that the RG-R's do come in an 18 inch fitment for the Z though.

those are actually c2 evos. they are the one piece version and I don't think they are made in Japan like the three piece version is. I believe they are made here in the US. I heard the quality isn't that great, but I have never had any experience with the evo line
