BBS CH-R

mav5125 · 05-12-2013, 06:58 AM

Hi,

thinking about getting these wheels to replace the standard 296 wheels since they keep cracking.

The tyre size on websites i've looked at seems to require a different tyre size than the stock tyres at 225/35R19 and 255/30R19.

2 questions:
1. will they fit the stock RFT tyres since i have 4 spare sitting at home.
2. these won't crack like the BMW 296 rims right? If anyone has them or have experience with them your comments will be appreciated.

Could be a good opportunity to ditch the RFT's and get some real tires.

1. the stock RFT tires in 225/35 and 255/30 will fit, but they will be more streched, because the BBS are 0,5" wider than the BMW rims. So I would recommend 235/35 R19 and 265/30 R19 non-RFT tires, because RFT-tires are not very comfortable.
2. I've never heared about cracking BBS CH-R rims - and here in Germany a lot of Z4's have these rims.

Thanks for the comments. Sounds like a good option.

The CH-R does look good on the z4 right?

Personally I like the looks of the CX-R style. Everyone makes knock offs of the CH-R. You can see all the BBS wheels here and make your choice. Ditch those RFT's. Hopefully you don't have a big investment in that spare set.

BBS makes really pretty wheels but I like a more open wheel design and they're not offering that. I'm looking around.

Will have to use my 4 RFT spare set. They cost me $2000 !!!!
Will change to non RFT next time. What do people recommend to use as 19 non RFT?
