They are certainly not light and I definitely don't think that they will make good track wheels (hard to find rubber, too...

)

but, At low $2000 range, I think they are great daily wheels with Style!

Sweeeeeet wheels.

I'll go out on a limb and trust BBS on their decision to go 20 inch, not sure this specific design lends itself to 19" as much, especially for an M.

As for the weight, oh well in lieu of a relatively aggressive price from this manufacturer. Out of curiousity how much do 19" 220M's weigh?

Julius,
Shoot me a PM with pricing at your earliest convenience.

Do they make this wheel for a C63 Benz? PM me, if so.

No 20" C63 fitment BBS CH-R's are on the production schedule for 2009.

The only Benz fitments that have been approved by Germany so far are:

Mercedes-Benz E-class (211, 211K), SL-class (230)

That's it.

Agreed, this is a great wheel at a great price.

Ryan@IND · 07-03-2009, 07:00 PM

the other car that BBS has made fitment for is the Audi S5/A5.

Should look sick on that car as well!

Yes, and BBS is also going to build the 20" CH-R wheels for:

BMW 6-series (E63)
BMW 7-series (E65)
BMW Z4 Roadster (E85)
Audi Q5 SUV

MrHarris · 07-03-2009, 07:36 PM

Q5?? I wonder what that would look like.

STALKER · 07-03-2009, 08:53 PM

Great looking wheels.

Trier Germany · 07-03-2009, 10:47 PM

Is there going to be a 19' available. 20's are just not practical! If BBS made these in 19 i would definately buy a set.

19" BBS CH-R's will be available in the E9x fitments later this year...

That is the size I'm waiting for myself. I may end up buying them directly from a BBS contact in Germany...to shave off a month or so. (if I get impatient)

When do you think they will be in stock for my C63? I am looking for something sport, a little cheaper than 3pc wheels since I had a couple sets already...NY roads aren't kind to those wheels.

Jay,

They aren't building them for you car. (see my above posts)

I listed the only Mercedes fitments they intend to make this year. (2009)

My info comes directly from a BBS management source in Herbolzheim, Germany.

I can promise you that Julius won't have any better info than me on the upcoming fitments...

They have no plans to build a CH-R wheel for your C63 anytime in the near future. Sorry.

I read your first post. Just didn't want to believe it! I hate my C63...friggin offsets are too high for everything. Tired of spending money on HRE monoblocks..argh!

Lemans_Blue_M is aboslutely right.

I have heard no plans for them from BBS (although my info comes from BBS USA.... totally jealous of Lemans_Blue_M

).

there are plans for 19" versions towards the end of this year for BMW as well as Porsche.

Meanwhile if anyone needs the 20"s give us a call!

davidy1688 · 09-16-2009, 12:11 AM

Hey man,
Can you PM me in reference to your purchase of the CH-R's in 19"...I am too eager to get them, but definitely NOT in 20"...I am running now on OEM 19" and I want another set for the track....might even consider tracking the OEM's vs the BBS? Not sure yet.
Cheers
