Aftermarket Wheels

Their automotive street stuff is decent and looks good, but they use oe offsets, no more aggressive..kinda sucks

Pretty sure BBS is focused on making wheels that work properly with the suspension geometry instead of going for the "aggressive (ie let's **** up the scrub radius on this car)" look.

It would work nicely. They black part of the wheel would match the truck, while the gray would tie into the fender flares/bumpers.

That's a very good point, what color are the ones in the photo above? I'm on BR website and I see either all black or a sand/black color which looks a lot lighter than the ones shown above.

The actual color is called Gun Black. It’s a lighter colored black, really a very dark gray. Then the bolts/caps are a dark black. They don’t refer to it this way, but it’s really more of a two-tone wheel. Hope this helps!

Helps a lot, thank you! As you can tell by the picture, it looks like the exact same color compared to the picture on the truck above.

I am not so sure about this statement. The Scrub Radius is dependent on the height of the tire along with other factors , and I have never seen reference to tire height in wheel literature.

I am sure BBS makes fine wheels for factory height tires.

I have not done the math, but I can assure you that 35", 37" and 40" tires all require a different offset to minimize scrub radius.

You need to re-read what was posted. I commented on a post when he was talking about being disappointed that BBS uses OE offsets. They use OE offsets because that keeps the suspension and tire working as designed. Increasing the wheel offset to push the tire out for the "aggressive" look screws up things like the scrub radius of the tire.

The post I commented on and my post never said one word about tire heights. So thanks for the assurances, but you aren't really picking up what I'm putting down. Just because the word "radius" was used doesn't mean I was talking about the diameter/radius of the tire itself.

Thank you, pics don't do them justice. So glad Rays made a wheel for our trucks!
