Why can't BBS make this wheel in the right fitment!?

I do like the CH, it's a very nice wheel and as either a track or a road wheel I wouldn't be that worried about a little extra weight

The CH-R is out but not as you say in the correct BMW fitment!

I wonder if CH's take a 6 pot AP caliper with 355mm disc minimum?

Yes CH's take the BBK upfront.

Im running H&R springs on OEM dampners, and CSL wheels with 12/10 spacers.

That's cool then, I've always wanted a nice set of BBS wheels and now have the perfect car to have them on!

I wouldn't know whether or not to fit Cups to the BBS's and keep them for Summer/Track wheels? Then keep my original wheels on PS2's for winter and ewt track use!?

Put the cups on, sounds like a plan to me

So you not actually running 10.5 wide then at the moment? Maybe im missing something, or maybe you have more clearance than me on the OEM strut...confused

Easy option, just pick up an old set of BBS CH for E36 M3 in 8.5x19 and 9.5x19 it fit's perfect Csl, clearly perfect for cup's in 235 & 265, no spacers front and 16mm rear, and you're done.






I bought my CH back early 2000 when I got my 3.2 estoril E36, ran thoses rims for 7 years, re-sprayed them back in 2008 and I run theses for trackday's since..

I much prefer the CO but do like the CH David, the problem is the PCD on the CO is incorrect amongst other things!
