    Anyone here interested in a set of the BBS wheels for their car ? I am in the works of trying to get a set of the LM-Rs for my car but since BBS does not offer anything in the 5x108 bolt pattern as of right now , they would need a 20 set order to get them done . They deal with another company to do the custom cutting for their wheels . The wheels are still BBS but they are just drilled through this company....

    There has to be some people here that would be interested in BBS wheels for their car....other than the OEM !

    I am in talks with the guys from BBS USA and BBS Japan about possibly getting this done .

    I am going with a 19x8.5 or 9 , 19x11 . The size of the wheel is not the issue . It's the drilling of the bolt pattern and offset that's in question .

    The interest is to get the sets drilled out to the correct offset and bolt pattern . It has nothing to do with 18s or 19s or width .

    It sounds like they're feeding you some B.S. I'm pretty sure BBS does it all in-house, soup to nuts. From their website:
    "BBS GmbH - Herbolzheim, Germany
    Herbolzheim is the machining and painting facility for all aftermarket and OEM products. Located adjacent to the autobahn, it's location allows for easy dispatch of products to our customers worldwide."

    IF you cant get BBS to make you a set, Work wheels Japan have no issue drilling 5x108 in whatever offset you need.

    I have been working on this for a little bit now and all the research shows that BBS USA and BBS Japan do not drill for 5x108 , no matter what you want . They have been outsourcing that work to this "Face Wheels" to drill them out and create the correct offsets you want .

    I will call him and ask .

    Work makes great wheels but nothing I want for the Ferrari . I was actually looking at a set for my WRX .

    I can guarantee you that Facewheels are not BBS or do work on BBS wheels. They are Taiwanese company that do custom wheel and private label.

    Well this link was sent me to me direct from BBS USA....

    http://www.facewheels.com/

    and then you click on "BBS" and then "Customization" and you get to this.......

    I can't believe that BBS would be sending customers to another wheel company to select their wheels ???
