Ive got 18s with 225/40s on them.
They are a little heavier but they are indentical diameter to standard (or very close) because of the lower profile.
Its only a touch slower by my pants dyno but the wider tyre and stiffer profile make it handle much better!

Just wondering, say hypothetically i have bbs wheels on my car...should i be worried that they will get nicked?
Im being serious...are they that sought after?

Not to the degree that they'd get instantly nicked if someone sees a set on your car! Use a good set of lock nuts if you're feeling paranoid.

Yes they are. Especially with the $1000k per corner price tag they carry.Originally Posted by shami

At $1000k per corner, you'll want to hire a couple of guards to perminently watch over your rims.
but in all seriousness.. i'd be a little worried - Thankfully only a real ethusiast would know their true value so druggo kid off the street will only see them as some shiny wheels.
Just get 5 different sets of locknuts and you'll be sweet. Pain in the ass to get them off should you have to change a tyre but they won't be stolen in a hurry.

They are sought after & a good set of locking wheel bolt's/nut's is excellent insurance.
I use BMW locking wheel bolt's. They have over 40 different style splines so it can make it very difficult if you loose the splined key.
Usually the first thing to get knicked is the BBS Valve cap's. My brother's were knocked off I think from memory in the first week. Then replaced & knocked off again.
