[Doug H]

What about using the BBS magnesiums Race Designs on a TT. Anyway I could paint or powder coat the center section in black. Any problems with using these wheels on a TT. Can someone photoshop a TT with the wheels. FVD has them, but I cannot link their page.

Are those the magnesium Race Design component wheels.

I am talkinmg about the ones shown that come in gold or silver that are ordered in parts on FVD's website. For someunknown reason, I cannot link over or copy the photo from the website.

If those are the rwace designs, how does he like them. I heard the bend easily, but they are very light weight.

Damn the HRE's looked so sweet on that car. The BBS's look like 17's...

all about performance!! i respect that SOO much more than 19' rims that don't do anything but BLING!!! lol

Yes, they are the magnesium wheels but possibly look different because of the black centers. The wheels are 12"x18" rears and 8.5"x18" front with a special offset to accommodate the version of 8 piston calipers he is currently running.

18" wheels were selected because Fred wanted the ability to run more aggressive rubber on the track. The wheels will also work with future modifications to the four corners.

I like those. They may look cool on a bacl car. Can anyone photoshop them onto this pic of my car.

If you are interested we are having a "sale" on the mags... Your price is $5400 for the 4 (in turbo sizes)... Paint is extra, but can be done before shipping to you...

Evan, how much do those weigh. Any other pics of them on 996TTs. I have seen them on the older body styles. Also, do they bend too easily for normal street use on a car that is almost driven on a daily basis. Just trying to get something different and light.

I just ran out and unpacked the ones shipping today (upsetting the warehouse manager ).
18x10(Front):21LBS (Painted Black)
18x11(Rear):22LBS (Painted Black).
The wheels are not made for street driving, so you may run into problems depending on how your roads are...

Doug,
We could also paint the dummy locks in the center to match the wheel, which looks pretty cool... That is how these wheels are... I wish I had my camera here today to take pics...

Why are those magnesium wheels so heavy?

At those weights, getting mag is pointless, especially when BBS makes a "scalloped" aluminum wheel that weighs 13.5 lbs. for the fronts and 15lbs. for the rear.

And also, for the record, Cary Eisenlohr's and Manthey's 1-piece BBS magnesium each weigh only 15lbs.

At 21lbs. I'd rather get Kinesis or Work.

It is what it is man...I am not making it up
Keep in mind these are painted to that might ad a tiny bit of weight (1lb maybe???).
We also have the BBS 1pc mags in stock (for GT3). They are deff. lighter...
