Guess I'm getting lazy in my old age.
I totally agree with you!

These wheels should have been a standard option on the F-SPORT

Or the BBS RGR in Diamond Black. I had them on my 2GS Sportdesign.

They actually make the wheels look small and the tires much bigger....don't like that look.

Interesting - I thought something was off. You're right. I wonder why that is. The rubber definitely looks bigger on these wheels than my standard F-Sport wheels.

I like the design, but now that you pointed that out I prefer my wheels.

And if only more tires came in those specs....
Yeah its not because TRD marked it up, it's the weak USD to JPY factor. If the USD was a lot stronger, these wheels would actually be competitively priced.

Unfortunately the overcast skies didn't help my pics. Personally I think they look really nice in person. Maybe some bright daylight shots will change opinions?

BBS CH's are awesome wheels. The look is all subjective of course.

Agreed that the overcast creates the illusion that some cited with wheels looking smaller than actual, tire edges disappear in the shadows of wheel wells (in some shots). More pics!
