Guys, I've fallen head over heels with BBS Le Mans wheels, but I've been looking and a full set with tyres would set me back more than my coop will ever be worth!

So, who knows of any VERY similar wheels to these, must have that wide, split rim look.




Any suggestions very welcome.

Thanks

Gareth

god they are gorgeous!!
i would get a job as an escort, woman in the paper cleared 50k of debts doing this and then buy the pukka ones along with the hub adaptors.

can't think of any that look that similar Gareth

They are stunning aren't they, as is that car!

That's a good idea Dave, however, I'm not a woman and I'm far too shy!

Anyway, I've just found THESE so I'm looking into them price wise etc.

The search continues!

G

lad i worked with did escorting, bloody ugly guy and he used to get £160 per hour, if he gave them a back massage it went up to £260 an hour!!

they are very nice wheels indeed!!

I imagine it's lucrative if you can put up with the ins and outs of it all (no pun intended)

I'm not sure I like the way this is going Dave, I feel like I'm being groomed! can we concentrate on the wheels please!

Yes, them second wheels would be spot on if the spokes where painted titanium or even a little darker. Not had any luck finding them for sale as yet, still looking.

G

And I thought that the BBS wheels only looked good on 'old skool' VW's

I'm looking into a set of these after playing in photo shop. Would need 4x100 adapters or wobbly bolts to fit them though.

I've found a good quality replica wheel that could be an option too

So would you like to share?

I know that I'll find it hard (read impossible) to find straight fitment wheels, all I'm worried about is getting the dish of the wheel right etc.

G

I take it the car in your sig pic is photo shopped then is it? It looks fantastic! and the little HF Elephant badge looks like it should have always been there, and lets face it, they should have done it, an Integrale coop would have been awesome. I can't believe they did the Q4 but didn't see the sense to give the coop the same treatment, insane. It would have made a superb looking rally car too.

Been trying to dig it out, taking a while though as i came off my bike quite badly yesterday so a bit on the slow side

The option of the lower offset on the rears will be great for me as I've a narrower track at the back due to using Dedra drive shafts.

Yes, unfortunately it is a PhotoShop. The HF badge does exist though and the rest is in the pipeline

Joe (countrycruising) showed me something very interesting that made us think that maybe Fiat did have ideas about a 4X4 Coupe, go look in your boot.

Simmons OM wheels look a lot like the BBS rims

These wheels are really popular in Oz, and Simmons will drill them to any stud pattern you want. But I'm not sure if you can get them over here?

hmmmm. may have to order me some new wheels they look great spee, can you pm me the actualcost you got quoted

the replicas coupe intergrale found look good for the money too . . ..

need different wheels on my car

I didn't get an exact quote Luke, but the best price I found was, wait for it, £589 per wheel (for the BBS), you have a tyre, wobbly bolts and potentially a spacer per wheel on top of that!

Gareth

I've just seen the price of these, thats good value! I may have to go for these, there is little in it appearance wise.

Cheers

Gareth

love the wheels and at that price! go for it...wish i could

yeah as i said in my other post, im really tempted by these. will the 4x100 fit fine pn the coupe?

Hi Gareth,
They look absolutely fantastic on the picture in your original post. Probably the nicest looking wheel I've seen on a Coupe.

Do you know if the BBS alloys in the picture are 17" or 18" please?

Cheers.

I don't, but by looking at the fit in the arches, I'd suggest they are 17's.

Gareth

am lookin at these wheels for mine think they look good and the price is to, just gettin money together to get a set, will look good when i get all my other stuff on when i get time and some help lol.

I'd better get my skates on and get them first at this rate!

I'm not sure they'll suit a red car though

G

mmmm maybe right or there is another set the same but in matt black with the red rim maybe them not sure now will see need a pic of a red coupe with them on to see what look like lol

In black or a darker titanium maybe would look good on a red one, with the rims polished of course.

G

They are a little rice rocket for me, but they might well look good. See if there is anythiong like them on Gran Turismo wheel thing and try them, assuming you are sad enough to have a red coop in your garage! Assuming you have Gran Turismo that is!

G

and if ive already ordered them?

no dont have gran turismo good idea though think black is the better choice though il get a set soon will see which set i get

good choice scal,you can lend me them sometime I would get 17`s if i were you though?

Look, I saw them first, everyone back off or, erm, or, erm, I know, I'll sneak round your houses one night and stick a spoiler on your boot! (in Porto!!!)

And you're the closest Scal!

how dare you mod an LE Gareth

I know, the shame of it, but look at the first pic again, I think even Alan would forgive me!

G

This is going to get messy! I think you'll find I photoshopped them on my car and found the website

As for the black and red ones... they look shocking, chavy even - only an idiot would want those monstrosities on their car...
