BBS has been producing wheels for over 30 years which is just about as long as
Tire Rack has been selling tires. What a great combination to enhance the performance of your Porsche --
BBS wheels and
performance tires from Tire Rack.

Did you decide to get a new set of wheels for your toy? You know to dress her up a little. Well, it doesn't matter if you went with a big name like
BBS or
OZ Racing or went with something more budget friendly like an
ASA or
Verde style I know you want to get the most 'pop' out of your purchase. So, here's a couple of easy tips to help you get the most impact.
If your new wheels have an open design, think about the surrounding parts. Here's a couple of examples I found roaming our parking lot earlier today.
A good looking Kazera KZ-H wheel with some Sumitomo tires recently installed on a Subaru Legacy but those brake calipers detract from the car's appearance even with the upgraded wheel.
How hard would it have been to grab some
G2 caliper paint, which is available in 11 different colors, to clean things up a little and add a little flash?
Something like these OZ Racing Superleggera III wheels with
Pirellis on a Ford Transit.
There are many little details which are often overlooked like valve stems and center caps. Many wheels even have optional center caps for a more personalized look. Metal valve stems are another option to improve the overall appearance of your new wheels.
To take things another step further you can also run high-end lugs from KICS or Ray's Engineering.
As they say 'the devil is in the details.'

Wheels are just another name for Rims. Technically the Rim is just the outside edge section of the wheel that "touches" the tire. Among our most popular "rims" are American Racing Rims, Borbet Rims, OZ, and BBS. For the C6 Corvette, I like the lightest weight forged wheel that we sell in the stock, or Original Equipment 18 and 19 inch sizes. Those are the coveted
BBS-GT, the Holy Grail of wheels. These are lightweight (21 lbs. front anf 23.5 lbs. rear) strong and beautiful looking wheels, especially in the Diamond Black Finish (also available in silver).
Check them out and let me know what you think!
Looking for a new set of rims for your
C6 Corvette? Well then check out our selection of high quality wheels from
BBS and
OZ! Both of these manufacturers produce wheels that can be used on the street as well as the race track. These two wheel manufacturers have won multiple championships in several levels of motorsports.
OZ Superleggera III BBS RS-GT We can also mount and balance a set of tires on your new wheels. An excellent tire choice would be the
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11.
Check out some of the other wheels we have by entering your vehicle make, model and year in the
Upgrade Garage.

Plus sizing is an option allowing drivers to customize the appearance and performance of their vehicle by mounting lower profile tires on larger diameter wheels. One-inch greater wheel diameter is referred to as plus-one, two inches is plus-two... and so on. Using a lower profile tire with a greater diameter rim allows the overall diameter to remain about the same, giving your vehicle a unique look with a new wheel and tire package. You can find a complete lists all the wheels available for your vehicle at:
Wheel Brands. Enter your vehicles make, model, and year in the field on the left and we will show you all the wheels our engineers have found to fit your vehicle.

We've all been there before. You pull out your summer wheels and tires and you're ready to hit the road. But sometime over the course of winter, a center cap to a wheel disappeared! A shiny set of BBS or Zinik wheels can be an eyesore if the center cap is missing.
Tire Rack has simplified the process of finding the right center cap for your wheel. It's easy! Follow these steps to see if your center cap is available:
-
Start by searching by brand
-
Once on the brand page, select the wheel you're interested in
-
Click on the "Optional Hardware" tab
-
Add center cap to your cart
Tire Rack is making it easier to get your vehicle back on the road and looking good!
Please note, we only carry center caps for wheels that are in our inventory. Please browse by brand to see if we carry the wheels you currently own.
The best way to shop for Performance Wheels & Tires for 2010 Chevrolet Camaro is to go to our web site,
TireRack.com, and enter the year, make, and model of your vehicle.
In this wheel and tire package example I used the SS version of the car with the RS package :
Wheels for 2010 Chevy Camaro SS RS Package
Once you pick the wheels and add them to the cart you can then add the tires for your car, truck or SUV.
In my opinion the best bet for these Camaro Tires are the
OE Pirelli P Zero tires.
You can read this Pirelli tire Review by clicking on the tire itself and then on reviews.
The package I created with the new
BBS CH-R is the best looking in my opinion but we have many great choices in wheel styles. Have fun!
BBS takes success on the track and applies it to wheels built for the road. All BBS wheels are visually appealing, but they go through strict safety tests to assure that they're stable as well.
The Porsche at right features
BBS RS-GT wheels, but they're certainly not the only BBS wheels we've got at
Tire Rack. In fact, we count over 35 different styles for you to choose from—one of which will be the look you want your vehicle.
In fact, you can
search by vehicle to get started. In choosing a BBS wheel, you're committing to a brand that's been to the winner's circle in numerous racing events which means you can rest assured you're getting the quality you are looking for.
What's an outfit without the shoes? Same goes for cars, in a way.
A stylish Jetta should roll on an equally-stylish set of Jetta tires and wheels. Despite the fact that there are plenty of options, a short "drive" into our
Upgrade Garage will help you narrow it down. Give
Tire Rack your vehicle specs, and we'll compose a list of options you'll want to choose from. It's that easy. (We'll even recommend suspension upgrades, just in case you're interested.)
Like our Sportwagon at left? We think it's eye-catching. The black BBS rims are an impressive contrast to the white-bodied Jetta. Details?
BBS CH wheels,
Pirelli PZero Nero tires.
Maybe they'll
fit your Jetta, too.
Some people choose alloy wheels based on looks, others choose based on their desired performance level. Many racers choose to change both wheels and tires on race day. And so, we'd like to recommend these performance wheels. (As it turns out, they also look good!)

To drive a Corvette is to believe in the beauty of a high performance vehicle. And at
Tire Rack, we tend to think that means you'll also appreciate a beautiful set of aftermarket Corvette rims.
Like, for example, the
O.Z. Racing Botticelli III wheels featured on the Z06 at right. A polished lip and bright silver finish create a winning look that complements the Corvette's existing high style. Same goes for these Corvette wheels, too:
•
BBS RS-GT•
O.Z. Racing Alleggerita HLT•
O.Z. Racing Raffaelo IIIAnd the most beautiful aspect of aftermarket Corvette rims—they increase the performance levels of your vehicle as much as they enhance aesthetics. (

Upgrade Garage, and we'll show you what they look like on your Corvette. We'll also show you a selection of Corvette tires suited to your vehicle. (In case you're wondering, the Corvette above features
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires.)
When it comes to motorsports,
BBS is extremely successful. So it's only natural that they lead the way in wheel manufacturing and engineering technology. BBS rims are, after all, quite often the wheels of champions. It's about being light on weight, but heavy on safety—a combination that almost always improves the driving experience. Check out these top-selling BBS wheels:

Anybody going to be attending the Grand Prix in Joliet the end of the month? I went to the races last year at Road America and had a great time. There is going to be 7 different racing series on one day. Come on out and enjoy road racing at its best and cheer on the car of choice. There is suppose to be a MBZ SLR racing in the Speed GT class.
My favorite wheels are the
BBS wheels. I also like the
OZ Racing wheels. Both of these wheel lines can be seen on your daily driven cars. The BBS wheels look great on the BMW's. Whether you track your car or it is just a daily driver it will update the look and reduce unsprung weight..
