New BBS?

While looking for red or black letter center caps I saw these. BBS CY.
I have never seen these.

I like lots of BBS wheels..and have owned the BBS CH's before...I am not a fan of this new style...looks like someone other than BBS designed it. And that is not a positive comment.

I like them but must agree. Sharp edges are not one of their trademark design hues.

Come on Guys..

The BBS range are trying to step into the Dimond Turned/Dimond Cut Style rim.. and to be honest.. if i compare to all the other DT wheels on the market.. i must say, i recon this wheel stands pretty proud.. i wouldn't put it on my Coupe, as as i'm not amazed by it.. but i'm still giving them credit for this design...

Later

I'd have to see them on a car, but I'm willing to bet these would look great on a lowered Black M5.

there have been pics of these floating around forever, but ive never seen them on a car...and i really dont want to. They may look better mounted, but from what ive seen, i dont like em.

They look like RS-GT's if RS-GT's were made by Lexani.

pics here:

maybe it's the pic but it just looks a little chrome ish for my taste. The spoke design isn't all that hot either. They're not bad, but I don't think i'd buy it

These look really sweet! I think they would like great on the E92/E93 models.

I did some googling and found one company selling them:
http://www.gmpperformance.com/index....eel&PID=182572

They come in a 19" x 8.5" size priced at $765 each (list $900). Expensive but not out of line with most wheels in this size.
