Do they make reps of these BBS wheels?

These wheels are like 8k, any reps?

slicer · 06-27-2013, 11:28 AM

Either buy the real thing or something of solid quality (HRE, OZ, BBS, Advan..). Your OEM wheels will be far better quality than a typical "rep" wheel. Why would you want to get something lower quality than OEM?

HRE makes a wheel similar in style to the BBS FI (HRE S101 and S104). It's nearly the same price so I don't see much advantage there.

^^^ i dont know how you see that wheel in that picture as being even close to looking similar to the OP...

Work makes wheels that look similar to those BBS wheels and are significantly cheaper but will be more than reps....better quality though.

you are correct this one has a lip.
i dont know if you have eyes.....but i would def consider them "similar"......
as i said they are not exact reps.....dont see anyone else trying to help the OP besides telling him there is no reason to buy anything less than $3000 wheels.

(i have BBS RGR BTW)

these are more close to the BBS FI.

the ones in the pic are center locking so obv nothing will be exact.

Aren't even that much? Can you clarify what you mean?

A set is around $2000 new... you can get a used set with tires on this forum for $2500 or so...

Klassen M52-R, almost identical. However still expensive

Because we're at the end of the product cycle and we're starting to see the second hand owners show up here in force.
I'd never put anything that's in some way JWL/VIA/TUV certified.

The Forgestar CF5V look kinda similar to the FI and are decent quality

yup..but vendor prices can vary as per usuall..just gotta shop it around a bit..

**not my pic, from the klassen fb page..

Love The Klassen wheels... they are still 1800/wheel.

nullrouted · 08-14-2013, 09:22 AM

Maybe it's just me, but isn't the point of buying the expensive wheels partly -because- they're expensive? Putting reproduction wheels on a BMW M3 is about the furthest along the rice-meter you can get, I'd say.

BBS FIs are awesome, but at that price, I'd probably get an ESS before BBS =)

Because this is an educational forum (or at least I hope that it strives to be one). People post questions because they don't have a lot of knowledge on the topic. The OP may think that all wheels are created equally and not realize that replica wheels are almost always of horrible quality, bend easily, have sup-par finishes, little customer support, and are typically very heavy. I personally think its a waste of money to buy a wheel that is far lower quality than OEM. I would rather that the owner saved his money and happily kept his OEM wheels upon realizing that they are superior in every way to the reps he was considering.
