BBS anyone ?

[Passat774]

Just wanted to see if anyone with a 6th gen has BBS wheels,

Tried to search them out, but no luck finding any pictures

[reprod]

I know that Epsilon has wheels that are very similar to BBS'.

I was looking into some BBS' myself, but I would of had to fork out a pretty penny to get the really good forged alloy wheels I wanted.

I don't think Camry owners would touch this stuff. BMW or Audi owners would though.

You can buy a set of mid-range rims for the price of a single BBS wheels (with respect to their higher end models).

If you want a cheaper alternative to the BBS, check out ASA wheels. They are legally allowed to reproduce some of the BBS designs.

ASA is a company from South Korea with a state of the art manufacturing facility. They conform to the same quality standards as BBS. ASA and BBS have been in bed for a long time:

In 1990, ASA decided to build a state-of-the-art alloy wheel manufacturing facility. Knowing the complexity and challenge this presented, ASA went to BBS in Germany to tap the best technical knowledge in facility design, manufacturing processes and quality controls for producing high quality alloy wheels. Production began at the new facility in Jeywon, South Korea in March 1992.
Their agreement with BBS, a world leader in wheel technology, engineering and manufacturing with over two decades of success in the racing community and the high-end aftermarket worldwide, is still in effect today. This cooperative agreement gives ASA valuable access to technical and product information that BBS gains from their motorsports and manufacturing involvement.
By basing its quality standards around those used by BBS, in 1994 ASA became one of the first alloy wheel companies to obtain ISO9001. In 1999 ASA obtained QS9000 certification, one of the highest quality standards in the automotive industry. (ISO9001 and QS9000 are world-recognized standards for quality.)
These high quality standards have allowed ASA to produce over 750,000 Original Equipment wheels per year for vehicle manufacturers in Europe and Asia. With a total capacity to produce over 1.2 million wheels per year, ASA produces aftermarket wheels with the excess capacity and exports to 51 countries around the world.
The ASA name, Artisan Spirited Alloy, is reflected in their exotic, elegant, and exciting wheel designs.
The product line that ASA develops for The Tire Rack has been created with a high level of service and close cooperation between the two companies. The Tire Rack will offer a complete range of ASA wheels for cars, light trucks and SUVs. As the relationship with ASA develops further, look for many new items to satisfy your wheel needs.

They also produce excellent replicas of Benz wheels, such as the AMG monoblock:



Here are the wheels found on the previous-gen Audi A6 2.7T:



BBS style:



ASA offers their popular designs in black with chrome outside, chrome, satin and painted.

yep try looking for epsilon's ride. his wheels are LUFF M1, which would look the same or similar to BBS LM

[07XLE]

I've seen a few around here with the BBS wheels that are offered at the dealerships, actually the only 18" wheels available in the southeast is the BBS, we can't get the TRD's which is what I was after when I was buying, they had a demo at the dealership that, had I thought clearly when I singed for the car, I would have worked them to switch my stock alloys with the 18" BBS on the demo car, but oh well, I'll try and find one with them on and snap a pic.

Eventhough TRDVVTi's ride is a Gen5 but he has BBS rims on it.
