Does anybody make a QUALITY rim that looks like the BBS RC? That rim is the closest thing that I know of to the E46 Lightweight rims. It's got the spokes but also the "dish" in the rim. The only thing is that it has the center caps which I think look horrible. Even if you leave the center caps off, it just doesn't look right.

So is there any other rim that is good, strong, relativly light, etc. that looks similer?

the BBS RX is a cross spoke design, but no center cap. Check out www.tirerack.com and scope them out, they are usually cheaper than RC's as well, I've owned both wheels and was very happy with both.

RGR's look like the CSL's wheels.

You should probably specify the BBS RXII when you say that RXs don't have centercaps.

I own RXs and they most certainly do have removable centercaps.

:wave:

Tire Rack's (www.tirerack.com) website will confirm this.

I think he may be talking about a center cap that covers the lug nuts like the RC's center caps. ;)

RXII's are a 2 peice wheel, RX is a one peice and neither of them have a large center cap that covers lugs. of course all wheels have at least a lil center hub/dust cover cap. Also rx and rgr are visually similar except rgr are dark color and forged, rx is cast and traditional silver.
