Nope...




I asked this question a while back, and the company's upper management has no plans to expand the fitments to other cars at this time.

The problem is...it would require a new capitol investment in tooling for this to take place. This is also a 5-axis CNC machined wheel. That's the most expensive (and time-consuming) machine work you can get.

And right now...BBS is in no hurry to change this...

I can't understand how a company which such steller products, can miss the boat on so many marketing and sales opportunities.
Thats too bad, at least we can get the RE-V, but the RE-R is sooooo nice.
