After some adjustment it rides very nice.

Roman could you please enlighten me regarding the ch-r fitment?
BBS offers ch104 (19x8,5 et32) and ch106 (19x9,5 et35) but they officially advised me that there might be modification needed on the front wheel housing plus 10mm spacers.
Can you comment what was involved in your swap?
Are spacers required on all 4 corners?
What exactly are their ''precision fitment systems'' included in the set?
Rubbing with 235-265?

I am running mine with 5mm BBS spacers front and rear. I had to modify some of the fender liner on the rear to allow the drop I currently run. Without the spacers and with a conservative drop you should not need to modify anything to run these wheels.

Thanks a lot man

Hi Roman, I'm about to purchase these rims too! However, after doing some extensive research on the internet, there are some people saying that the CH-Rs are rather heavy. what do you think and what is your experience with the CH-Rs on the Z4?

Vintage · 10-14-2011, 09:56 AM

At 19" Tirerack reports them at about 25 lbs. That is a couple of pounds light than the 27 lb. 296 wheels. The 20" wheels do get a bit heavy. I love the look of the CH-Rs and to get to BBS forged like an LM-R, it is almost double the money for 1-2 lbs/ savings per wheel. In the real world, that performance difference is pointless - if you truly race around a track it is a world of difference.
