new super light BBS FI rims for 997TT + 997GT2

here the new BBS Fi rims in total they are 18kg(40 pounds) less then the stock 997GT2 set. I already have the OZ Ultraleggera HLT that are 7kg(15 pounds) per set less then stock. I had to oder me a set to get 11KG (25 pound) more off the car.

Um, not too sure about that design... It certainly looks awful on the BMW race car.

From what I have heard on the BMW forums, these wheels could possibly cost around $10k a set.

Nobody would pay that much for a set of wheels! Oh wait, that is what the Dymags cost. Nevermind, some people would.

No doubt about quality, and it's just a matter of taste so there is no right or wrong, but I have to agree with others here: this is a very very awkward design, close to being ugly.
For a "little" more, IMHO Dymags are gorgeous looking, and light, and a better choice.

Any news? I'm thinking of getting a set for my turbo, if you have some pics with them installed will be very helpful.

thx
