Hate to ask....

I read the board all the time but this is my first post, so please excuse the apparent "noob-ness" of the question. My 335i is the first car I've had that's been worthy of adding after market wheels and tires to, and I was looking at some BBS rims, and I was curious what the acronyms "ET" and "CB" stood for. Thanks.

"ET" is your wheel offset.

Whats the "CB" then?

I have no idea, I've never heard of it, nor have I heard anyone reference to it.

This is what the BBS page says:
Part / Finish Size ET Wt. (lbs) CB
LM165 - DSPK 19 x 8.5 32 24.5 PFS
LM166 - DSPK 19 x 9.5 32 24.97 PFS

I think pfs stand for performance fit system

You can't see centering rings... they're in the back of the wheel!

maybe were talking about two different kind, ive seen some that show right in the front to shorten the bigger cb's and they look terrible, especially when they dont remotely match the color of the wheel
