My wife and I both bought our winter tires and rims from tirerack.com.
My wife was scanning the wheels and saw some nice BBS wheels. How come women never check price?
She said , "these are nice!"
"And they are $450 each. Keep looking."
She settled on great looking BBS VZ wheels for $170 each. I bought the same wheels the next year.
We pulled in to a parking lot at the shopping outlets near here and parked next to a BMW. The owner just got out of his car and was looking at my car. My wife said, "is that guy staring at your car?"
I got out and he asked about the wheels.
I told him that they were my winter wheels for my winter tires. He was amazed that we use BBS wheels for the winter. I explained that they were the least expensive BBS wheel, they look great, and they were only a little more expensive than the not-as-great-looking wheels that we were considering at $149 each.
I told him about the wheels on tirerack, and he said that he knew about the web site and was going on there as soon as he gets home.
