Looks great! But I don't need e same sized rims I need it in 18" so that I can fit road tires on e RS. Not unless Michelin are coming out with ps2s or ps3s with 245/35/19 and 325/30/19 then I would like them in 19s

that 19" monoblock is NOT available from BBS in GA yet. they want to have several sets ordered for sure before they forge them. i asked. a set is well over $10,000 USD. but they sure look nice. well worth the money for those with deeeeeeeeeep pockets.

Apparently, RE is only available in GT3, NOT RS offsets.
For RS 18" application, BBS recommends the already known 3-piece E88 (CUP) wheel with offsets 43 (front) and 48 (rear).
Hope this helps,

BBS says $10K for a "wear item" ?! That's offensive over-pricing. CCW said $4K? Somebody's greedy.

I'd be all over a set of these, but nowhere near that price point!

Price should be in the $4000-$4500 range.
