BBS wheels or not

Check this pic out.

What a looker...a little too low for my cup of tea but the wheels are striking. Does anyone know what wheels they are? They look like BBS but I'm not sure. I've been to the BBS website but haven't been able to find the model. I've also tried emailing recetep but haven't got a reply.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, that is sweet. Yes, they do look like a BBS wheel, but there are quite a few that look very similar. I have seen some like this before but I can't remember what brand they are. They look like 15's or 16's. That may be why the car looks like it sits a little low. Sit's pretty good if you ask me.

Those ARE sharp wheels but if they are what I think they are, they're going to be real spendy.

Those look like authentic Wire Spoke Wheels, and last I checked into one of them, they were like $250 EACH, and they weren't too keen on guarantee / warranty

I'm also guessing they are 15's. How low do you think it has been lowered. I'm guessing at 2 inches.

Are there any pics out there of what a 1" or 2" lowered Z look like for reference. I don't want to go out and spend dosh and find it is too low.

For those of you who are curious....

The rims are actually 15" American Racing rims. Four

corner Coil-Over with shortened struts and Bilstein Strut Inserts

Apparently these rims are not made anymore. Has anyone got any ideas on a good place to start finding some???

Cheers

Forgot to add that I checked out the UK BBS website and wheel I thought that they were are model La Man. Hope you are all sitting down comfortably. 4 rims will set you back US$2822...OMFG!!!!! Let the 911 drivers get these....geezz.

I won't be easy if they don't make them any more. Did you check out their web-site? It's www.americanracing.com Click on passenger car wheels and it is on the second page.

They have one called the Vortex that look quite a bit like these except they don't have as many spokes. And the Vortex are available in 4x4.50 lug pattern in 14x6 or 15x7's for $100 dollars or less manufacturers list price! Not too bad!

BTW, didn't I say the BBS wheels would be expensive?????

Cheers.....checked out the wheels at the AR site and they are pretty close but no cigar.

Something about them isn't quite right...except the price that is.

I'll email them as a start...thanks for you help:)
