Guest Guests Posted 20/12/11 11:18 AM Share Posted 20/12/11 11:18 AM Hey All I have a FG XR6t ute and was looking to get some 19in BBS CH-R black rims. I was told by the local tyrepower man that BBS were no more and he's suggested a set of Speedy Cheetah's instead. Does anyone know if BBS have finished up, and if Speedy are any good. Looking at 19 x 8 on the front and 19 x 9.5 on the rear, don't really understand the offset thing. Will this fill out the FG guards? All opinions are welcome.

BBS aren't usually cheap either. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78243-bbs-no-more/#findComment-1171605 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 20/12/11 02:52 PM Share Posted 20/12/11 02:52 PM I've noticed that. Was trying to get them imported cheap from a US site but was told that because of an agreement with OZ wheels they can't distribute here. Don't really want to go putting cheap crap on the ute Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78243-bbs-no-more/#findComment-1171608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd try a few more places in the states. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78243-bbs-no-more/#findComment-1171684 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke them tyres Member 557 Member For: 17y 4m 2d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 21/12/11 01:34 AM Share Posted 21/12/11 01:34 AM The way around the exclusive distributorship issue is to use a US "consolidation" service.They order it for you and it then gets sent to a US address.They then on forward it to Oz (for a fee).
