Default Anyone run BBS wheels?

I had a set of bbs rk's for my mustang and loved them. I've never seen anyone talk about them or run them and didn't know why. I'm interested in the "tuner line" they offer. Mainly the wheels shown in the link below. I know certain bmw wheels fit fbodys but not %100 on which ones and I know they make wheels for bmw. Let me know if someone has any info. or pics of preferably a trans am with these wheels. I like the rs-gt and the rg-r wheels.

Go to the Tirerack.com and look up wheels for a C6 Corvette .
You'll find several BBS wheels with the 5 x 120.7 bolt pattern.

The comment was to the OP. At tirerack BBS were $1300 a rim for vettes. If i had that money I would go the way of Fikse instead of BBS for $5000+ for rims not including rubber. I personally like your wheels alot and not too long ago I wanted a set myself. I think now I'm going the route of OEWheels, nice rims that are affordable.

Yea I knew it was directed towards him.. I just think that is ridiculous to drop that coin on a set of rims... Opinions are like, well you know.

I wouldn't buy OEwheels.. Mine were cheaper and MUCH MUCH less people have them.. And again, opinion, no OEM style rims can compare.
