Those BBS Wheels....

Some of you guys were wondering just how they got to be so light (even 1/2 a pound lighter than the Magnesium's) well here's some pix to show why.. Look closely at the spokes and see how they've machined those grooves? Then on the back-side look at da' holes:P

So 19 pounds in the front and 20 in the rear.

and going on a sweet yellow GT700 car that had 19s previously... Obviously it's going to get better traction/handling with 18s...

Sweet. How much would a set of 8.5x18 and 12x18 in regular silver finish cost?

A few questions.

Are the bits available to take them apart, paint the center to whatever, and put them back together?

Is there a centercap of some type (BBS, or Porsche)?

Do you have any pics of the front and rear? If not, what is the lip size of the front and rear?

Do you have Turbo sizes or will the GT2 size fit?

Thank you sir! Nice looking wheels.

Roy

Hi Roy,

They are three piece wheels and I order them either in black, gold or silver centers but yes you can take them apart and paint whatever you need. The porsche center caps won't work but you can use the BBS ones or the dummy center lock ones. I've got pics of them on my car (the MAG's) and will post them in a bit. The lip is "stepped" in the back....

We get them in either GT2, GT3 or TT sizes and offsets.

Thanks!
