No, these are about ~$1150 per wheel in nineteens (last I checked) from Tire Rack. I would guess that even a Japanese market exclusive color of the RS-GT (say gold) would be little more than half that $10K figure.

Oh I see... but the BBS RSGT offer on tire rack sucks though, horrible offsets and widths. Something more aggressive could cost much more I think

It's not that bad, more like ~$5500-$6K.

strictly looks wise... i'm finding the 'form' of the wheels are just about identical... I like the BBS finish a little better. The Volks are nice, but a bit too shiny IMO... a little too close to chrome though they aren't chrome...

Actually the 19x10 40mm offset is just about perfect...
Its the fronts that blow... they do actually have a 19x8.5 30mm offset which too is just about perfect but its only in the Black Diamond... if I pulled the trigger on these I would deff go Diamond Silver

Both wheels have a similar look but I'm going to go with RS-GT's as well.

Wow - I didn't realize the BBS were so much more expensive than the Volks. I think I'd stick with the Volks and spend the difference on BBKs.

Price & Name Brand aside, does the BBS hold a technical advantage?

^^How much do the volks weigh? I know the BBS are super light (~9.5kg),


I always wanted the BBS's, heck i even bought wheels that (i feel) are a homage to RS-GT.


BUT id go with VOLKS, and save the money for some proper coils

I went with VOLKs. But I love me some BBS wheels.

If you got deep pockets, go BBS. If you're practical, go VOLK.
