BBS has been around for decades coming out with iconic wheel designs that now flood the euro scene and are easily recognizable around the world. BBS wheels have always been at the top of the wheel industry, but they don't make new wheels. How is that possible? Today, Alex touches base on a topic everyone has been waiting for and explains why bbs does not make new wheels

I would love to see the bbs wheels from the Audi imsa GTO

[@poppinblisters8782]

A new set of RS's in 4x100

[@RB-xv4si]

[@decayingsam]

as a Deaf car enthusiast, I just wanna say that I really appreciate whoever writes out the subtitles for all your videos :)

[@FitmentIndustries]

❤️

[@SmarterBotting]

Question for you - do you modify your exhaust? Power gains are nominal as long as it's not a serious bottleneck, so I'd say a majority of people do it for sound. Do you have an aftermarket exhaust/downpipes/etc?

[@decayingsam]

SmarterBotting Yep! While I am deaf, I do have a cochlear implant, which lets me hear nearly as well as any hearing person. However, because I got it implanted recently, I still have some difficulty understanding speech. though, I am 100% able to appreciate the sound of an aftermarket exhaust system :)

[@unkameatgoodbar2315]

They don’t need to make new wheels I remember when bbs first came out, in the 80s,they are like a suit , will never go out of style....

[@FitmentIndustries]

Sometimes old is gold🤘

[@ZEPRATGERNODT]

I miss my OZ Volcanoes. Bought the last set made in existance, in the size I needed, and they ended up being stolen off my car. Wish they still made them...

[@cheeksonfleek5996]

So you want an Automatic Car?

[@aaronesau9427]

Yes! But do it as a parody

[@KaiserVonKrieg]

@fitment industries mention how modern automatics are better for track, traffic and most offroad situations.

[@interceptingfist5682]

@@KaiserVonKrieg uh oh we found the guy who can't drive manual 😂

[@quasiczarcasm]

@@interceptingfist5682 They factually are better.

[@sushibento3042]

They are faster but I wouldn't trade a 67 shelby cobra for a ferrari just because speed isnt all, some people like vintage, some people like new(ewi 🤮) i really dislike automatic it goes against 'my nature' its part of the process somethings just not there for all and if u have a car and can't shift gears just gtfo the roads son... Ouuuuty

[@posturworldwide3222]

*reads title* “Because they don’t ****ing have to.”

[@Christian---]

Is BBS the most German brand ever?

[@michaelskoomamacher5652]

Since you brought it up in the past, you guys should make an in-depth video (or series) that explains all the different methods to forge a wheel set; what makes a Rays different than BBS and Ronal.

[@plorwax]

They're too busy making real wheels for motorsport racing.

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

Why make new wheels when you have literally achieved peak design?

[@Kyle-ty6mx]

I would love to win a set of BBS wheels! but i live in Canada

[@siggycordelier]

I have never bought aftermarket wheels for my cars. But if i did, they would be BBS'.

[@69bock69]

bbs lm are the most perfect wheel ever created

[@Jacob23cya]

So you want a q60 or q50? Preferably detail into the 3.0tt. Heard about some issues with early models and turbo issues. Much appreciated

[@porscheG56]

Yes please do the RS again. I know this would be far more than I could afford but it would be cool to see how light they could make an 18x idk a 18x11 inch BBS RS. Titanium face, lips, barrels, waffle plate, hex nut, bolts nuts the WHOLE thing... my dream wheel besides the LM

[@Seargentmyself]

Anybody know what spoiler that was on that e9x at around 2:00

[@BjornFSE]

Good, Thx for covering this.

[@pijeon4293]

So you want a MR2. Please and thank you.

[@playboypete]

[@OllamhDrab]

Black and chrome meshies is all my old Euro needs. :)

[@tzarnaev]

Rip Sunset, all it wanted was to be in the video

[@grantglaze8664]

A quick question. I have a Pontiac Solstice. (no duh) and the bolt pattern is 5x110 . Now the selection for this pattern is on the small side. Are wheel adapters a safe choice? I don't auto cross, just take it out to cruise and sometimes a valley run.

[@FitmentIndustries]

For sure, Definitely not a bad option and probably the more safer route to go!

[@r129r16pfl]

I got BBS RC304 for my e36, insane price/performance, one of the lightest R17 wheels out there - 7,2 kg

[@definitionXrp]

What's a R17?

[@drue6360]

This helped clear that up about 0.00%, but there was so much talking that you might think that an answer would be in there somewhere.....

[@tueighty]

Somewhere. Beyond his neurotic mannerisms and hidden in the lack of a point he was trying to make

[@andrewnavarro8016]

What is the wheel that's directly behind his head?

[@FitmentIndustries]

Fifteen52 Turbomacs, Take a look at them here! ---> bit.ly/2mqy7Gl

[@DUFFYS_DIECAST]

[@whatsup8464]

Nice old skool looking rim👍

[@germancavallo8277]

@A Z explain?

[@gavinsloma]

The LM is still something I have to own some day

[@craigbarrett2278]

Had a 1988 vw golf 1800 16v, heavily modified engine and gearbox, with a set of 15' BBS's. Best looking wheel for the car, even when 16's and 17's started coming out nothing looked better......😊

[@honestguy7764]

absolutely agree. on the other hand, a mkII gti golf is the only car i like having steelies and not alloy ones

[@TidalWaveDan]

Respect to them for choosing quality of quantity and not going the Made in China route💯

[@kwatoribio]

There is a high probability that some of their modela are made in philippines.

[@notasian7620]

I understand they are expensive but I dont see where people are getting these ridiculous sizes I only see standard sizes for sale but then some bro has like 17x9 and 18x10s with custom offsets. Unless they have custom made barrels and just keep the bbs inner parts??

[@Zero_Ninety]

Thanks for the info Max Headroom Jnr.

[@Stretch_Buckets]

I had a fire pair of SR’s (the grey ones in this vid). Prob the best look and quality you can get for $900. Looked so sweet on my MkV gti

"With that BBeingSaid" 😂😂

Alex you have Vegita’s hairline, pretty cool bro !

[@andrewkivela5668]

Just received my BBS t-shirt, great quality and design. It won't be my last.

[@1320Bushido]

I was toying with the idea of center lock wheels. Saw the cost and sai to myself "nahhhh". Did you do a video on center lock wheels yet?

[@sett215]

so i want a vw jetta or golf tdi???

[@unit2135532]

Would like the BBS RK rims back...

[@maco29yo]

BBS RK. Definitely. Those Rims are a sight to behold. With a nice low ET (~15-30) number.

[@sh.osmanov6792]

We already knew that but watched anyway

[@Mke-dh8go]

I got BBS CK right now. And I COULD NOT be happier! Maybe if they made them wider than 8j wtf my slow ass 540i burns ‘em Toyo’s even on 20% throttle...
