Default BBS Monoblock 19" 5lug Group Buy Feeler

Hi Guys,

Jamie_GT3 and I have been working this for a while. Wanted to get these but BBS didn't make them.

This is the wheel we're talking about



Here is a picture of the 18" 5 lug that they made a small run of a while ago. The 19" will look like this, just bigger and the spokes will be a little longer and more curved (depending on size and offset you go with)



After discussions with BBS, we have some traction, we need at least 5 sets combined of the possible combinations below:


All below are $7750 Rennlist price. These should be much much closer to $10k, but the BBS motorsports guys think we're on to something and if we can help them cover the costs of the drawings and forgings, it gives them another option for the 997's...

Set Options. Colors are Motorsport Silver (as the picture above) or Gloss black. (Polished or custom colors available for $600/set). Weight of the 19" centerlock wheels are 17.9lbs for 9" front and 21.7lbs 12" rear. 9.5" aren't made yet and 5 lug will add a little weight to them.

Also the 9" ET 50 will not have much "curvature" to them. The 9.5" ET 42 will have curvature to them. If you have a regular fender car, we think the .2 fender extensions are enough to cover the 9.5" width wheels, but don't know for sure.

A: Stock Front Fender NB rear fitment
19x9 ET 50
19x12 ET 61

B: Cup or Grand am Front Fenders NB rear fitment
19x9.5 ET 42
19x12 ET61

C: Stock Front Fender WB rear fitment
19x9 ET 50
19x12 ET 48

D: Cup or GrandAM Front Fender WB rear fitment
19x9.5 ET 42
19x12 ET48


Also available for $1500 each

18" 5 lug Monoblocks
18x9 ET50 6 wheels available
18x12 ET 65 2 wheels available
18x12.5 ET54 2 wheels available

All are motorsports silver and available painted for $600/set (4 wheels)


Please select which Letter of the set you're interested in below!

For the 18" PM me and I"ll get your setup, first come first served on these as you can see there's not many of them. Previously these were $10,000/set, so get them while they're hot!

Isn't this basically the same design pattern as the ch-r except forged? I'm sure very nice but mucho $s.

The monoblocks have more curvature to the spokes and the sizes we're asking to be made are a bit more aggressive fitment. The CH-R is similar, but then so is the finspeed F14 and a number of other wheels. This is the exact wheel used on cup cars, so those looking for an motorsports inspired street look that will take track abuse, the monoblock is best!

looks like little interest so far, I'll bump it up over the next week or so for others to potentially find it...
