HRE Vintage 501 or BBS RS alternatives?

davewerner · 05-10-2014, 11:50 AM

Hey everyone,

I recently picked up an 09 E93, black over black w many blacked out bits and bob's including the original wheels. I'm not 100% sold on these so I want to find something a little different.

I'd like something in the vein of the HRE 501 of BBS RS, but my budget won't allow for $7 grand for wheels, unfortunately. Also, i work in an industrial part of town and wouldn't be comfortable that kind of money with the thought of them getting scratched due to the horrible roads I drive every day.

Any ideas for a more economical option? i'd like to stick with 19"s

thanks

The bbs super rs which are the 19s aren't 7k. Maybe 5k. Regular rs will be 18" and expect to pay around 3200 for a custom set to be built. I like the vintage hre idea. Contact them directly and tell them what you're doing. Maybe they'll get you a better deal

yeah, the HREs are the ones I've had quoted at nearly $7k. I figured the BBS super RS would be 5-5500 at least in the 19s so I'll look harder into those. The 501s are my clear favorites though so i may have to work on it and see what i can come up with...maybe sell a kidney or a kneecap or something else i have 2 of! thanks
