Driving conditions in Hamilton
The escarpment splits the weather: the mountain gets real snow while the lower city stays wet. Road salt and winter potholes are the two things that kill wheel finishes here — which is why a separate winter set on tougher rims usually pays for itself.

- OE fitment
- Match bolt pattern, centre bore and offset to your vehicle — diameter alone is not a fitment.
- Ask about TPMS sensors and hub-centric rings when you order; both are easy to forget and both cause problems later.

How much do BBS wheels cost?
BBS sits in the $$$$ bracket with forged and flow-formed construction. A full set installed also includes mounting, balancing and TPMS work.
Can I run BBS wheels through a Hamilton winter?
Exceptional weight-to-strength, but salt is brutal on any wheel. Rinse regularly, or run a dedicated winter rim-and-tire package and store these for the warm months.
Do I need an alignment after new wheels?
If the offset changes, yes. Different offset changes scrub radius and steering feel, and an alignment protects the new tires.
