    Best place to get Replica BBS?

    Can anyone recommend where one would go to buy a set of BBS replica wheels?
    So far I have only seen Advance Tyres in Richmond but surely there must be somewhere else? Happy to look overseas too.

    yeah but there doesn't seem to be anyone selling any at the moment and I'm after a particular size, width and colour so don't want to rely on luck that the perfect set will come around. I'm certainly keeping my eyes open on the classifieds but wouldn't mind sourcing a new set from a store either. I can tell you that I can get set of 18" x 8" BBS CH replicas in matt black 45ET for well under $1000 from Advance and this is pretty tempting. Wouldn't mind going to 19" but would prefer to stay at 8" width and this seems pretty rare.

    why not just buy real ones for less?

    for the fakes: ebay, bobjanes, look for 'bb5' and 'style' when searching

    Why someone would go to the trouble of searching for the "perfect" reps confuses me, when that time could be put into looking for real wheels... If you look around hard enough you'll find real ones for the same price or less than reps. Best bit is, they wont be reps.

    importmonster.com.au or yahoo japan
    Search and you will find a bargain which will outweigh the cost/quality of the reps easily

    There's a guy on facebook called T and R autostyling who sells them, but i would have to agree with the other guys and say go with the real ones, you'll be a much happier man in the end
