Similar Looking Wheels

[scarf]

Just wondering is there a similar looking rim (another manufacturer) to the vossen cv2's above that can be bought is AUS?

Im thinking the same style and colour would look good on a white sedan.

BBS CH-R?

BBS CH-R?

mate, thats perfect.

would be cheaper to buy the Vossens though...Vossens and all the other brands are just replicas of the BBS above. Plenty on Ebay.

thx. I had no idea the vossens were copied off the bbs whhels.

The way they advertise each of their wheels and the responses from everyone on myg37.com you would think they had come up with the original design.

They are like Varstoens trying to look like TE37s.

Really? The split spoke and mesh spoke designs were pioneered by BBS; basically everyone who's done it since has basically been copying them.

Tempe sells a copy in 19", but I've got no idea what the offset is. Probably shithouse, being Tempe. But you could buy them and respray them.

The DTM 073 is also another copy.

yeah!

on myg37, it would seem like a sin to have rims that aren't vossen. lol

having said that, the concave CV1 and CV3 look epic

I dont think BBS CH-R is a concave wheels tho.

[n15m0]

They can be concave...all depends on width, offset and disk type

yeah I've just started to look into wheels. Before this I've had little to no idea about wheel brands.

Interestingly a lot of the e90 M3 drivers are using the copies. I thought they would have had the dough to buy the originals or couldn't bare

to be seen with copies.

On a totally unrelated matter lol, can anyone help me in identifying these rims?

Ive had a total mental blank and i keep thinking volk re30 even though they're not.

[n15m0]

definately not Volks...Advan RS I'm pretty sure.

[TUFF_350]

That's them! Thanks heaps for that.

Just because you've got dollars doesn't mean you've got sense.

A significant number of modern M3 owners couldn't give two shits about owning one of the best handling coupes in the world, they just want everyone to see them driving it. That's why the current M3, with its giant V8, specific exhaust and body, and luxury trim, is a complete kick in the balls to the small I4, stripped out, barely noticeable from stock E30 M3 that started the legend.

Now that they've blown so much cash on a car they will never truly appreciate, they're too cheap to spend up on accessories whose performance means even less to them than half the gadgets in the car, or the spirit of the original. Its quite easy to tell that a badged 320CI isn't an M3 these days, but most people wouldn't be able to pick the VMR 710 from the BBS CH. For them, that's more important to the handling benefits from stiffer wheels and less unsprung weight.

Haha true that, same goes for the Merc's AMG C63 and similar models. Bought to be noticed but if you want something as simple as keyless entry (which should be standard) that's an extra $2k on top of the already $150k you're forking out!

thought this looks really good also. R35 GTR wheels. All 4 wheels are the front wheels of the R35. (rears of the R35 too wide for the v36)
