There is a set of 5bolt BBS F1'S for sale for $6000 in the FS section that I with out hesitation would of picked up if I didn't just put out ALOT of $$ for a PP/Techart body kit and complete paint job this year!!
I agree I think the GMG wheels would look much better in body colour, black or silver. The BBS F1 R a whole new ball game - they're even lighter than BBS F1!

I agree about BBS F1-Rs. I have a set priced and waiting to place an order (only thing holding me back is availability of rear tires). For 20" I would need 325/25/20 MPSS and those are on extended back order! Sales folks confirmed that fronts 245/30/20 MPSS were available but no rears...so the wait continues!


Going the 20" route, decent tires (especially rears) become an issue to consider!

^^^ I'd stick to 19s buddy. On BBS CL u must check the off set will fill the wheel arch properly before buying. I had to use 5mm spacers on my 5 lug BBS F1 before they filled the wheel arches properly.

I agree, sticking to 19s is my preference however BBS does not currently manufacture the F1-R wheel in 19s in the centerlock configuration, only 20". I would have an even longer wait holding out for the F1-R in 19s! The offsets on the 20" are +44 (rear) and +52 (fronts). I am still learning about offsets and will have pros check before buying however on a 12" wide rear wheel, +44 offset appears pretty aggressive and should fill the wheel arches!

I'll be sure to confirm as I can't run spacers with centerlocks haha!
