I'm thinking of getting some new rims come spring time once the car comes out of storage and am looking at BBS right now. HRE's are very very nice but they might be a little on the high end (price wise)

I have pics of mine in my gallery (link in my signature). It's the BBS CH. If you decide to go with the more expensive & forged RS-GT or LM, they are not much less than the HRE 4xx series.

If I have to do it again, I'd probably go with the forged RS-GT, not that I'm unhappy with the wheels I have right now, but then I would look at the HRE 's as well for not too much more, depending on which series & what finish you're looking at. You can get HRE's for significantly less than those prices listed on their website.

Haha, I had the BBS with the Michelin Pilot Sports A/S since August '03 but only put about 8000 km (5000 miles) or less on them & they're both still virtually brand new. I'm not the type that would bother spending the time & effort trying to sell them, & I would have to get rid of the Pilot Sports as well since if I upgrade the wheels I'd go for 19", since HRE's with lips would look too small on the car with 18". I would virtually be giving them away now since I'd be lucky to get even half of what I've paid for.

I guess I'll put more miles on them first, & depending on how long I plan to keep this car ( I would say for at least another 2 years), I'll see if & when I'll consider upgrading to HRE's.

I've been considering the BBS CH also. Any problems with tire pressure monitor mounting, or mounting of wheels in general?

Thanks

No problems at all, the valve stems on the BBS CH can accomodate the tire pressure sensors & they have been working perfectly for me so far.

Thanks.
