Possible to make regular BBS's look like DBK?

3er858 · 04-09-2008, 08:17 PM

Does anyone know if it is possible to make regular LM or LM-R's look like championship edition (DBK center). Does BBS powdercoat, anodize or something else? I want these wheels (the ones on the right), but I was quoted like $6800 w/o tires... the regular ones are about 4k.

I called BBS USA and no they do not powder coat any of the wheels here. As i was also looking for the champion edition LMs. There was a set for sale on bimmerforums a few months back and also located in So Cal. if i had the 5k that he was looking for then, i would've picked up the champion edition LMs. goog luck with ur search.

I have heard that it is extremely hard to replicate the DBK finish.

Those ones on the right are not available in the USA market yet. You'll have to go through the "gray" market to acquire them directly from Japan and ship them here.

Or... you can have a specialty company powdercoat it for you.
