Does anyone have any option BBS front or rear wheels they want to sell,they will be used for racing so slight damage [curbed/scratched etc]should not be an issue.
let me know if ayone has anything.
Thanks

You can try these guys. They don't always have them in stock but at least it's a place to try.

Clone wheels from China in cast alloy using the same dimension as a forged BBS wheel would only be suitable for owners like EP that never drive their cars. :lol

are you sure that site is in NZ? I called them and talked to someone in the US and he said they came from salvaged/wrecked/parts cars.

Maybe they have/get used ones and new ones from China?

I thought I recently read that BBS, a German company, had gone through a bankruptcy proceeding, and was purchased by Punch International, a Belgian company in 2007. I thought they said that the Japanese company "Washibeam Co., Ltd" manufactures the BBS F1 Magnesium wheel and All racing Aluminum wheels. Since BBS is a customer of Washibeam, manufacture of the wheel will not be discontinued if BBS goes bankrupt again.
