BBS CH Black 18" Wheels, Help

carsteve · 03-01-2009, 11:41 PM

I have a 2008 E90 335xi with Sport Package, Crimson Red on Black.

Been searching for a new set of wheels since I used my stock 162s for a set of Blizzak LM-25s for the winter and want to purchase a new set for my original summer performance tires (original being of course 225/40 R18 front and 255/35 R18 back, of course). I've locked my eyes on a set of BBS CH Black since they're about the only wheels I've found that I liked so far other than a new set of OEMs.

I noticed the widths available for the 18" BBS CHs are 8.5" front and 10" rear. Will I have a problem mounting my original tires on these rims? My gut says no, and I haven't done a thorough search and wanted to double check.

Also, the price on TireRack is a bit more than I'm willing to spend. Is there another source out there where I could get these wheels for $300 to $400 a piece?

Any help or insight to my questions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-steve

With bbs it is hard to get anything less than msrp..tire rack has a good price for them unless you can pick up a set used.

Thanks for the insight. Will probably look into that, given I find out whether or not I can use them.

I was searching for 19" bbs ch blacks before. Every vendor that I contacted beat tirerack's prices. One e90post vendor that stood out is wheelsto. For the 18x10's, tirerack does recommend 255/35/18's so i think you should be fine using the stockers.

really?...I was pretty sure that everyone was within 10-20 dollars of everyone else, I guess I meant there will not be a dramatic price difference

Yes. Really. WheelSTO beat tirerack's total shipped price by $200. No harm in asking them for a quote.
