BBS CM wheels
Any opinions on the new BBS CM wheel?
I've been looking for something that will look good on the Black Opal wagon and is strong and lightweight for not too much $$$.
I guess these are cast and not forged so they're a bit cheaper than the forged offerings ... only $600/front $630/rear for these in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5.
Tirerack still doesn't have an image of it for the 'view on vehicle option,' does anyone have any pictures or can anyone photoshop them onto a wagon???
Thanks,
Josh

Those look great. Any idea what the weight is? They are actually a little pricey in my opinion for a cast wheel...but then again its BBS. They've made some pretty awesome wheels. Any other finish options? those would look great on a black car too.

Damn all of you ... I was hoping everyone would say they suck and thereby stop me from spending money 
Now I'm seriously considering them.
I'm looking at a staggered setup of 19x8.5 front 19x9.5 rear. Or should I just get 9.5 all around? The weight is listed at 25.5 lbs for the 8.5 inch, I can't imagine the 9.5 is that much heavier.
They are a bit pricey I guess for cast, but I really don't want to spend a G plus per wheel for forged and I've always had good experience with BBS quality ... hmmmmm, wish I could see a pic of them on a wagon ...
The other thought is the 65 replica wheel for an insanely cheap price of $170 per wheel:

The quality on those must suck but for that price they are basically disposable!

I agree. They also resemble an Enkei wheel. All 3 companies are the major F1 wheel suppliers so its not a bad thing at all. I personally like the BBS mesh wheel ala Mercedes/Koenig wide body.
