BBS RS Type Wheels for ZR1?

[Erik]

I was always a fan of the oh so 80s BBS RS type lace wheels. Strong, lightweight, and to me at least, a gorgeous design. Does anyone know of a quality wheel that was available then of this type, but sized for the ZR1?

Something like this:

You can still order BBS LM's in the sizes you would need for the zr-1. I have been trying to figure out wheels for mine. I have been looking at Japanese wheel manufactures such as ssr and work wheels. The work vs-xx's are similar to the lm's.

Found these guys. Right size, in 17 inch. Right price. Wrong offset. Plus, they'd need some widening!

The wheels i have been configuring are around 100-200 bucks cheaper for multipiece mesh wheels. I would say by time you do everything they need to fit you could order some ccw's or something along those lines. They do look good though. The site I have been looking at is called www.evasivemotorsports.com they have all types of good brand wheels to choose from.

That $949 is for the set of four!

Oh! LoL! I didn't pay attention to that part. Def a better price then I thought.

The comments I saw indicated they were beautifully made. However, how will they take to being widened? And getting the offset right? Again, don?t know.

I really wanted a set of BBS RS wheels for my car but they stopped making them years ago and recently started making them in one size for a BMW,and at $2000 a wheel. I've seen several places that can piece together the wheels from replacement parts found on the internet.

Great point!
I do remember there being shops that did that. I forgot to look into those guys!
Nothing has come up in my searches of late. Do you recall anyone who does?

You would have to do some digging. Now here's an a$$ kicker,right after I bought the wheels for my car a set of BBS RS wheels in ZR-1 sizes came up for sale about 20 miles from me. If you go on eBay and pull up BBS RS wheels and see what's there.
