I've just been looking at a Ferrari 599 down town Dubai, a stunning car and in Vinci Grey too from what I could tell smile

I fell in love with the wheels, I'm pretty sure they are BBS CK's, what do you think?

And the BBS CK wheel

What do you think these would look like on a coupe in an 18"? I think they would look quite nice.

Any photo shoppers out there want to do me a picture of the wheel in an 18" on a vinci coupe, I'll provide the car picture.

Thanks in advance

Really? The Ferrari picture does them no justice Joe, in the flesh they look really good.

How's the back?

In the flesh I bet they look smashing, side view pictures never really show depth of field which is why I never realised your rims were a deep dish design.

I'd be happy with your rims or the Ferrari so do please add either or both to my Xmas list please Jim laugh

I think they would look amazing on a coop, definitely in 18" though.

Thanks Kayjey, strange how it makes the front wheel look larger than the rear even though they are the same size.

Have you looked at the BBS CH Jimbo? I think that would look even better.

I looked at the CH's but unless you go for a 19" or 20" as those in your picture are, they look as though they have too much metal in the centre and not enough spoke.

The CH-R look great but only available in a 19"

They look good. But imo the ones fitted look really good. I think multispoke wheels suite the coupé best.

BBS, I think German cars.

nope, Jimbo, you need some of these puppies mate, much more suited to the coop, as they look big ( plus these are light ! ).

I still never found a bugger who'll sell me these, as I'd have them in a flash in 18 or 19 love

Volk Alloys

Lovely love

These BBS wheels look to be the same style as the Ferrari special edition Fiat 500.

The BBS CK does not seem to be available in Coupe fitting size (without odd bolts etc).

Non of the BBS alloys will fit, the only way they would be able to provide me with a BBS alloy is to use a 4 x 98mm to 5 x 98mm hub adaptor, re-pinch a 5 x 100mm wheel to 5 x 98mm and back skim the alloy hub face by 5mm to get the correct offset!!

All that for an extra £540 on top of the alloys price!

Taz, they look amazing!! Who have you tried to get them through? They are Rays alloys aren't they?

You could convert to Alfa hubs to bolt direct

I'm not sure BBS do the Alfa bolt pattern.

Thanks Kayjey, in that case they have them but in a 19" !! Might be a tight fit.

Jimbo, I tried a few on-line places, no-one even replied !

I am tempted in the summer to look seriously into getting some 19s for the Volks ( I purely use the coop for cruising ) and with my suspension setup, it's fine.

Else I'll go for some trusty 18s, however it's the cost that is very prohibitive, but they would just look so nice on the coop, with the sharp edges & the 3d nature of the rim.

@ JohnS, good to see you about & thanks for the PCD tip, the rims look like they'd clear the damn brembos...

oh, hold on, sorry Jimbo, this is about your BBS rims ! laugh

The fiat 500 Ferrari tribute has wheels very similar to those on the 599 and they are designed to go over brembo's it has fitted so they might even be a straight swap, might cost a bit from main dealer though!
