I do like my BBS SVs... the biggest issue for me is that they do not offer an offset that allows flush fitment on our X5Ms. They are also not hub centric for the X5M rears (72.56) which forced me to use spacers and to settle for a design with less concavity than some others in the same league. I talked to a senior BBS rep about them and he indicated that they were not going to alter any production model to accommodate a limited market, but would be willing to build a custom set for like, $100k... OUCH!
The solution was to go totally custom with a set of forged two piece wheels. I looked into HREs, Velos, Morr, PUR and Brixton Forged before ultimately choosing ADV.1 for their styling. (Fingers crossed that their less than stellar reputation is now behind them)
