BBS Rs-gt!!

ricky123hk2002 · 07-17-2006, 10:39 PM

Anyone know anywhere that we cant get a set of BBS RS-GT rims with low price? HRE too plz
Thank You for helping
Which rims do you guys think is the best?
My car's colour is BS. I might get the rims with black center , if I buy HRE.
If I buy BBS, the colour will be the same as the pic shown below.

im deciding between bbs lm and 540. i havent ever seen rs-gt on an e90.

Caster · 07-17-2006, 11:33 PM

I'm not really a fan of mesh rims, but the 540Rs are much nicer then the BBS imo. Not that they're that much different, those 441Rs though are sick!

just4kickz · 07-17-2006, 11:58 PM

wow if ur gettin HREs ur ballin.

ALPINE6SPD · 07-21-2006, 12:43 PM

get the lm but if you get hre get the rim painted black with a polished lip.

diesel007 · 07-21-2006, 01:15 PM

HRE is such a nice wheel why paint it black and loose the vibrancy of the spoke design. The black out centers is trendy, everyone does it now and when the trend passes you will get tired of that look.

On a black car brushed silver or even polished silver looks amazing.

RaptorKTM · 07-21-2006, 01:19 PM

personally for me having a bbs wheel now i just love it more and more. Now as far as which is nicer most would say HRE just because its prob a better wheel as far as build maybe. But i must say i prob wouldnt do anything but bbs on my car i dono y. But the HRE is a super nice wheel.

thank you for posting what i've been thinking for a while now.

I dont know about HRE being a better wheel than the BBS LM's (speaking objectively), I'm not even sure if HRE are TUV approved, which requires some MAJOR testing by the Germans to get that approved, hence the high cost of these dam things. But yah, the technology that goes into the making of an LM surpasses what HRE can do.

Just a tid bit of trivia, but a lot of the FORGED blanks (looks like a big disc) are sourced from one or maybe two companies. HRE/DPE/Iforged etc buy these blanks and then CNC their designs out of it...often times from the same CNC shop. Lips are similar, bought from same source.

LWL · 07-21-2006, 01:41 PM

Go with HRE............ it looks a lot nicer than BBS. But BBS is def. lighter

I prefer the BBS CH, but thats just me...

MIKEYMIKE · 07-21-2006, 02:10 PM

I used to be a huge fan of HRE...but I'm not anymore. I feel they are extremely overpriced...considering they really aren't anything that special.

I'd rather get some DPE's or BBS...

shragon · 07-21-2006, 03:28 PM

bbs > hre

the price of rs-gt's is almost the same as lm's. lm > rs-gt.

imho.

noflash · 07-21-2006, 05:30 PM

Hmmmm.... I'ma hafta say BBS.

And by the way, RGRs are a cheaper RS-GT. A layman can't tell the diff.

ska///235i · 07-21-2006, 08:33 PM

BBS are more classic....fits BMWs and Mercs very well

MINNOW · 07-22-2006, 07:16 PM

HRE's look bling, but BBS RS-GT's have a classic motorsport look and the finish is superb.
BBS on an E90 =

foofighter · 07-22-2006, 08:38 PM

IMHO, if you're building your car to have that sporty/motorsport and definitely understated and classic look, BBS is the ticket for you. If you're looking for classy and let people know you dropped a fat coin you go HRE's or some of the other boutique wheels. Only the discerning enthusiasts will know that those BBS wheels you have are of good quality and just as spendy.

not really feeling those rs-gts. looks kinda weird. i almost didnt think those were the rs-gts because they are usually diamond black

Hunter399 · 07-23-2006, 02:00 AM

Go with the LM!

HRE and other 2nd-tier wheels are for wannabe ballers who can't step up to the plate and go with genuine BBS.

"It's the fact, Jack!"

foofighter · 07-25-2006, 01:04 AM

aww c'mon Kevin, that's a bit harsh, some of those boutique wheels cost more than LM's. But i think they can get away with charging that much is because they've established themselves as a CUSTOM wheel company. And the rich and famous gots to have HRE's on their whips you know. So they priced themselves up to give it more of that exclusivity. But then again, i'm just a BBS fanboy and to some BBS are played...but I know that 2 years down the line i can sell these and they'll still be classics.

KevinC · 07-25-2006, 09:38 AM

BBS, "played"?? How freakin' ghetto is THAT??!! Give me a break. Idiot Escalade owners use that term, it has no meaning when talking about the finest German wheels in history, on a German performance car. No such thing as "played" in that context. A particular style very popular? Ok I'll buy that, but for good reason in the case of BBS.
