Bump - curious, are these wheels actually selling for $3500-$4000 used now? I see them listed at that price but they seem to sit there (at least some of my local listings).
I was in the market for them about 2 years ago and could find them new for $2500 and now it looks like the fronts are no longer available and suddenly they're one of the most expensive BMW wheels ever? Sheesh. They're beautiful wheels but can people really justify $4,000 for a set of used wheels?
What's the likelihood of BBS making new fronts? Anyone have any news on why these went NLA and if BMW has a history of bringing NLA back into production?
BMW has brought NLA parts back a few times, but not wheels that I know of, also the manufacturer BBS went bankrupt since then, so likely all tooling is long gone since the last wheels were made in 2014. Which is well over a decade ago now.
They won’t be made again, I am pretty certain.
I have quite a few of these wheels, also some new in box and others in like new condition. It doesn’t make sense selling them for cheap, they won’t be made again, think about what their value would be in 5 years. Even if someone makes a perfect replica (despite IP issues coming into play) the originals would always be worth more.
