can you post pics of these if possible? I'd like to see them.

Custom barrels would be pretty expensive. What are the specs of the wheels? They are 3 piece I assume. How many bolts are there holding the 3 pieces together? If it's 34 (like BBS RS0 you might be able to find BBS RS barrels on ebay or something.

Also you can try kodiak racing. They do custom lips, not sure about barrels. It's worth a shot i guess. here's the site:

here they are.... 17X8 ET40 standard bolt pattern because of the high 3 series offset I have to run spacers to fit them on my E34

Its going to be tough to find someone who will make that for a reasonable amount of money. Cool wheels, but not worth it.

define resonable amount of money.I like the style of the wheels and I figure if a new set of barrels will cost me the same or less than another set of wheels it'll be worth it to me...if that makes sense.....

oh Jcb what bbs' are in your sig? RS__?
how easy are they to come by?

Thousands.. You're basically talking about rolling 4 new, completely custom barrels. I'd say $2k (conservatively) and I have no idea who would do it.

They are RS198 in the front and RS198 outers w/ RS178 inners in the rear. $1k and they are yours

yeah 2 piece barrels would be expensive to have custom made. Not worth it IMO

I think there's just more of a market for custom pieces for 3 piece wheels. I don't think I've ever seen anyone make custom barrels for 2 piece rims
