Do you have any suggestion?
I'd like to change my BBS CHs 19" with some 18" wheels.
The side wall is taller (more comfortable ride), tyres cost way less, and maybe i'd see also a handling improvement.
Please keep in mind i'm running a front BBK with 365x34 discs and brembo 6-pot calipers.

BUT which wheel to go for?



Cheers

Their is a 9.5x18 LM wheel available. With the RS4 BBS fitting kit it has an offset of 20mm.

There is also the new RR in a 9x18 similar offset as well.

Give me a ring for details

team dynamics 9x18 ET 20 or ET 15, no spacer needed, 11 kg each, very hard alloy

edit: not sure the LM will match the 6 pot calipers, i'm sure they won't match with 380 rotors, with 365 i don't know

team dynamics is an english brand, perhaps lower cost in UK than in France.

the official price in france is 1500 euros (9x18 ET20), but it is easy to "deal" (?) at 1200.

i had an offer from english on line shop at 900 but i don't know any more the name of the shop

i have mine since 2 years, and no problems, no bending, very hard whells... but i should have bought ET15

From Lucas car: 19" are the best looking.....but 18" with the suspension lowered would do :wink:

What about BBS CH in 18" x 8.5J - I had them fitted to mine over RS6 8 pot calipers and RS6 discs - no clearance issues with spacers.
