The 19" BBS Forged Individual wheels in the E9x fitment will cost you approx. $8k per set, but it all depends on the Euro-to-US dollar conversion rate when you place the order.

The wheels are shipped from the BBS warehouse in Germany if they are in stock. If they're on backorder, then you have to wait until another batch of FI wheels are made.

We have waited a long time to get some concrete information and here they are...

BBS FI wheels are born from the BBS Motorsports division in Germany.
This is a product of decades of leading the wheel industry in breakthroughs in manufacturing and engineering of wheels by BBS.
BBS has accumulated tons of knowledge both on and off the race tracks and have funneled this wealth of technology into the BBS FI: Forged Individual wheel program.

The BBS FI wheels are available for the Porsche, Ferrari and BMW marques.

Here are some specs (much has changed since the early days of release):
Front: 19 - 9.5 et28
Rear: 19 - 10.5 et25

Weight (not official)
Front: ~17lbs
Rear: ~ 19lbs

Construction (quote from BBS.com)
- Forged blank made of aviation quality aluminum alloy.
- The design is 5 Axis CNC milled for a unique look for each car.
- Weight reduced by back milling between the spokes.
- Flow formed inner rim for a maximum of stability at a minimum of weight.

Standard Offering for Color/Finish
- Sport Silver
- Black Diamond Cut (2-tone)
- Ceramic Polish

Customization
- Custom Colors are also available, upon request (but limited at this time).

- Customers can also opt for extra protection by means of a stainless steel rim protector.

Here is an E92 M3 done by our friends at Studie, Japan. (This features a Flat Black finish)
