BBS RS Type Wheels for ZR1?
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!

Re: BBS RS Type Wheels for ZR1?
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.

Re: BBS RS Type Wheels for ZR1?
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.

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?

Re: BBS RS Type Wheels for ZR1?
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.
