View Full Version : Two BBS questions for Jim...

1. Any plans to add 17" RG-Rs to your offerings? (If not, would it be because the 17" wheels don't sell as well these days or ???)

2. Any plans to offer finishes other than the regular silver paint on the RKs? I'd really like bright silver or polished for my E36 M3, and it seems to be a common request. Really, the only reason I haven't ordered a set of those is because of the single finish offered.

I suspect that the answer is "no" to both questions :( but if I luck out and get a positive answer, please let me know a ballpark date if you have one.

It's frustrating to see a wheel you want and to have a minor detail (size off by 1" or finish) grind the sale to a halt.

Thanks for your time!!

David, Unfortunately the only finish available is the silver paint for the RK. It is what BBS offers for this wheel.
The RGR is available in a 17X9 currently with a 17X8 on back order. You can do the 17X9 all the way around with minor modification to the fender lips and camber.
Let me know if I can help.

Thanks Jim, that kind of what I was afraid of... But I guess since there is a 17x8 RG-R coming I'll wait for that rather than rush into a second choice. So really that's good news for me, in that I can get what I reallywant - eventually. :) I'll keep en eye on your site (as usual.)

Thanks again,
Dave
