Does anybody know where I can get a new stock Audi BBS rim at a decent price. I want to replace one of my existing wheels.

So it looks like we have an exclusive version of the BBS CO (exclusive only in bolt pattern). Tirerack said that they will start stocking this rim, but not in our bolt pattern. Any ideas of where to go?

Info about the rim and the technology employed in its production:

CO monobloc - "Inspired by DTM“ - Air Inside Technology

The design of BBS’ new wheel type CO is inspired by the German TouringCar Masters DTM – a true ‘child’ of Motorsports.

The AIR INSIDE TECHNOLOGY at one glance:
• The inner and outer shoulder are shaped into hollow chambers by flow-forming and are afterwards laser welded.
• The resistance to the deformation of the rim shoulder is being increased by 60 % and therefore significantly improves safety.
• The hollow chambers in the spokes increase the air volume of the wheel.
• This procedure reduces the weight of the AI wheel by approximately 5,3 kg.
• This counteracts the disadvantageous reduction of the air volume in low section tyres.
• Higher safety pressure at loss of air.
• Improved cushioning characteristics.
• Less noise development.
• Lower tyre flange temperatures.
