    Is it me or does the CS rims look very similar to the BBS ch model wheels? I was quoted $4k for 19's BBS vs. 10k for the CS. Which one would you buy?

    Easy choice for me, buy the BBS and spend the other 6k on tires and track-days. You can have a lot of fun for 6k.

    BBS Challenge wheels are 18" in diameter, while CS wheels are 19" diameter. Challenge wheels are made of magnesium as far as I know, and they are not part of the regular BBS line. If you look up BBS web site its CH model line which is aluminum and look like the Challenge wheels does not list fitment for 360 Challenge.

    The Challenge wheels are very light and not rated for road use, but ther are great for racing. 18" also means you'll have more tire choice for your road car. CS requires 19" wheels to clear the carbon brakes. If you use 18" wheels on the CS, there is not enough clearance to the brake caliper and you will easily score the inside of wheel. Very dangerous.

    I payed way less than 10k for my CS wheels. Less than 8k and this was from an "official" source. PM if you want the info. CS wheels aren't 10k. The titanium lug nuts (which you need) are around $800! :)
