BBS CV: Where to buy?

Since Alex won't sell them to us does anyone have a good line on where to pick these up? Preferably with tires. I have had no luck with my usual contacts.

Just call Tire Rack and order them. What's the problem?

the 18x8 Rota's on our Subaru were 24lbs. 17x7.5 from BBS should be lighter than 22lbs, even cast. Now, if the weight is mostly in the hub area, then it's a moot point, but we'll never know :P

CV's are dressup wheels. to maintain its BBS durability, i think they used
a lot of metal for reinforcement.

BBS does not = lightweight wheels. take the R90's for one.
