Default BBS CH Yes or No?

Guys and Gals, What do you think about these wheels?

They are the BBS CH. 19x10 are 479. Cheaper than volks. Maybe lighter too. Saw some in person on an S4 the other day.

The Question is ... Do they fit on the Z? I mean, Do y'all think they would look good? Its funny , what looks good on one car does not look good on another.

Do these work with the Z's shape?

BBS CH is cast, weighs 26 lbs. in 19x8.5, 28 lbs. for 19x10. But I think they'd fit the Z and they look nice as well

I love those wheels on alot of other cars, and was wondering what it would look like on a Z. Judging by the pic I think they look good, very performance oriented. A side profile shot would give a better angle to judge.

I love these wheels. These wheels are on my very short list of wheels that I am considering for my Z. Very classic and clean BBS design. Go for it... I don't think you can go wrong with these wheels.

Jules, I think those wheels would be a good choice for the Z. BBS are definetly at the top and i have seen those on many cars and all look very good with them. The only think i would consider about them is cleaning may be a little more time consuming than the volks. I have been looking around for rims too and found the cheapest place to be www.wheeeloptions.com . See how much they are from them.

CAST???!!!! 28lbs.?!!!! They look cool but with those stats forget it.

I have got track Rays now and i dont want my performance sapped by a 28 lb wheel. Especially when I will be sinking money into mods!

Oh well. At least I know why the BBS CH is so inexpensive compared to the RS-GT and the LM.

I am beginning to see why people are choosing Volk TE-37s.
Between these and the CH there is about a 5lbs weight saving per wheel.

LOL No wonder Deeba is anxious for me to get them. HE wants the performance advantage for when he gets his TE-37s!!!

No lip on the CH either. But I do kind of like how the center kind of sinks inward more agressiveley on the rear wheels.

What made me think they were so lite was the fact that I have seen them on Race cars before. Oh Well!

BBS of Japan mades those variants of the CH Motorsports. 5x114. no lip but they look very nice, I've notice those rims look best on dark colored cars. I have seen many of those on 3 series in the 19 inch configuration and it looks really nice. it should look quite good on a Z based on that white one, but I'd say get it if say your car were one of the darker colors--only due to the wheel itself not being polished.
