Cup car rims on a 2010 GT3/RS?
Wondering if the cup car rims (see pics below) will fit on the new 2010 GT3 center lock hub set up? Or would you have to go with a whole new hub?

I was at the PRI show in Orlando last week and spoke to BBS about wheels. I was told that there mono-block Motorsports wheels will fit and are ready to go. If I recall they are 19x9 front and 19x12 rear.
Call BBS in Braselton, GA. Direct and ask for the motorsport wheel office for more info.

So the wheels are 18's? When I talked to them at the show they were talking 19's.
Also they were talking about a one piece monoblock wheel.
So there 18's will fit the car I guess? If so that's good, better selection of 18 tires that 19. As for the color they showed me a black and a silver one piece wheel not a gold three piece. I am guessing they are the same gold wheels that are on the new Cup Car? Not bad looking. Would love to know the weight because the BBS wheels cost much more the OEM. I think Suncoast sells the OEM fronts for like $1350ea. and the rears for $1450ea. Or somthing close to that.

Marty,
Will they fit the new 10 GR3/RS center lock system? Who is the manufacture of the rims you have? Aluminum of Magnesium?
Thanks

Thanks for the info. I really want this rim in an aluminum monoblock. You think Magnesium would be to soft for street use regarding pot holes, bumps, and everything else you have the potential of hitting on the street??

Guys, the hub on the cup car is not the same as the one on the 2010 GT3, the wheels will not work.
We have this wheels avialable in 19 & 20" for the 2010 GT3 on a 3 piece.
Also in a Monoblock Series we will be offering these two designs in January 2010

The actual wheels that we are talking about in this thread will work the the 2010 GT3, since BBS designed them specifically for the 2010 GT3. The design was taken from the motorsport wheel BBS providesfor the Cup Car. BBS designed the ones I posted a pic and information of with the new 2010 GT3 center lock hub.
