Very good and important question because BBS is a great company to compare us to.

BBS makes a lot of gorgeous wheels, no doubt about that, we're big fans ourselves, but what Wheels Boutique touched on is where we separate ourselves from the industry. Where BBS makes a lot of pre-programmed sizes, we custom make our wheels to order which gives our end users the ability to hand pick their own fitment based on whether they want a more OEM fit, whether they want a flush fitment, or whether we're talking an extreme fitment.

Where we differ ourselves is the ability to make your own unique set by offering custom options which we do better than anyone else in the industry. Where you may find with BBS 3-5 colors at most for one particular wheel style, we offer over 70+ finishes. Where BBS may offer 15-20 wheel styles, we have over 60+ to accommodate a wide range of not just sportscars and exotics, but also Trucks and SUV's.

At the end of the day though, what makes our loyal customers come to back to us time and time again is our high level of quality standards, our high awesome and beautiful designs which are backed by our Lifetime structural warranty, but most of all our customers trust that we make the best wheels in the industry, which we've been doing the last 40 years (HRE started in 1978, BBS started in 1970 just for comparison sake just in case anyone is asking).

Funny enough from the Rennlist/Porsche Forum today:

My pal Scott has been in the tire and wheel business for 38 years as a VP for a major tire chain and when I gave him my new HRE's to mount up some new Michelins he commented that was probably the most true and balanced wheel out-of-the-box that he has ever come across in the industry.

First set on my Aston Martin Vantage, bare aluminum.



Ad the ones on my 991S - lightly tinted that have been on the car now over 4 years.

I love to see comments like this. I'm sure you'd rather hear it from our customers rather than tooting our own horn
