Cool ATTN: Tirerack, why not carry JDM fitment BBS CH-R's?

I've been shopping for rims and trust the BBS name the most ~ do you guys plan to get the BBS CH-R's in a JDM fitment? I learned from a reliable source that these wheels will only fit German 5x120 fitments

Kudos for sponsoring this forum but when do you guys plan to offer some nice wheels for our 5x114.3 fitment cars? I love the BBS LM's and have the JDM version on my NSX. However you guys do not carry these wheels so I had to go straight to Japan to source these wheels

This is the wheel I'm looking for in a 19" fitment, BBS CH-R's in matte black:




Can you guys assist in getting these rims at some point?

I love the CH's! Are you planning on slapping a set on your F? If so, I think that would look awesome!

Talked to Brandon at TR, they cannot get these wheels in a 5x114.3 since apparently BBS decided not to make them.

Yes I would 110% buy them if they are available but no luck, shiet

I'm not following you dude, TR already said they cannot get these BBS CH-R's that I want???

BBS decided not to make these CH-R's in a 5x114.3 lug pattern and only in 5x120 which is a BMW fitment only.

In this case it's not Tirerack's fault since they cannot get what BBS does not make.....stupid BBS for making this decision!

I agree, I have been looking at these wheels for a long time besides BBS RS-GT's in gunmetal for my MM IS-F. I think matte black with yellow painted calipers would be the dopest status Keep our fingers crossed bro!

True, but we can special order the Japaneese ones, but what we are saying is that even Japan BBS does not make these in 5 x 114.3. Hope that clears things up.

We can get whatever BBS makes. You can email me with your request and I will let you know the price. If they are a special order from Japan, we are usually looking at 8-10 weeks. Please check our website first and make sure the item is not already listed for your vehicle. Thanks.

DAMN I wish I knew this beforehand, I was trying to order a set of 19x10" BBS DSK LM's for the rear of my NSX and it's almost 5 months now since my order! *sigh
