Default Pics of 18" 5lug BBS Monoblock

Hi guys,

Here's the link to pics. Of the BBS wheels on 18". The 19" will look very similar to this with longer spokes (they're 19's not 18's)

As far as an image or schematic, we have to show serious interest for them to make the drawing, it costs them time to do it, so they want to know that the time isn't wasted. We will get a drawing of all the wheels to be able to make a final approval before the money is sent... If you're seriously interested, this is your chance...

Of course this happens after I buy a set of wheels.. What are the chances of another group buy for these in the future?

We're doing only 5 lugs. CL's there are a bunch of options from the road and motorsports catalog and more are coming...

If we don't get this first group buy done, this will never happen

We are having BBS make a limited run of this wheel in a 19" 5 lug per the options above. As it is now, this wheel only exists in the 19" center lock or the limited run of 18" 5 lug that happen to be left.

The factory centerlock wheel weighs 23.5lbs per front wheel & 29.8 lbs per rear wheel. The 19" version will be about 18lbs front and 22 lbs rear.

So there is an 18" 5 lug version of the centerlock one available?
