Hey ozhonda's...

This isnt meant to be a WTB thing.. I was juts wondering where would people buy replica rims that are identical with the original ones? I've been looking thru ebay, and found no luck...

Sharing where you get the source from would be good :)
Rep points will be given.

thanks

even if you just look at what they have to offer, then keep an eye out on aus sites.

but i dont know any sites that offer replicas of bbs wheels, or you could even get some other brand of meshies and put bbs stickers/centre caps on them? haha

haha true.. Im on both ebays atm.. lol i havent found anything... All i found was bmw bbs rims.. but these wont fit on my EG :( lol..
I just prefer buying second hands for $200 - $400 rather than spending $700+ brand new w/o tyres :(

You're dreaming if you think you'll find BBS Mesh replicas with BBS centre caps in the low offset you're looking for, for $2-400.

Linea Corse makes replica BBS LM and BBS LM-R They are sold here in Australia as Rota wheels. Go to www.rotaaustralia.com.au The spec isnt too bad either the BBS LM-R rep is 19x8.5 +15 and 19x9.5 +20 in 5x114.3 and they look nearly identical to the original BBS.
