Just wanted to share a little eye candy and let everyone know that we are carrying the new BBS CHR wheels.

Our BBS CHR wheels come with the Motorsport logo as seen in the pictures below and they accept the OEM center cap. They are available in Brilliant Silver and black.

Sizes for the 996TT & GT2:

BBS CH-R 12x19 ET 45 - 12,8Kg (28 lbs.)

BBS CH-R 8.5x19 ET 51 - 10,8Kg (23.8 lbs.)





















Here is a link to our BBS CHR wheels for 996 TT & GT2 on our website:

 

I just bought a set and their prices are very good. These are the european ones with the MotorSports logo etched on. These wheels are selling for 1/2 of what a BBS LM goes for and a 12" wide rear.

Weights are good-only available in 19"

 

These wheels are on my short list, was also considering the Ruger Mesh, it appears they both weigh about the same. Car is only driven on the street.

 

My modifications are designed for street use, and I picked silver-attached is the rear pic.

 

looks great...do you have a pic with the entire car?

 

Any chance we'll see these in 18's???

 

My next wheels! Very nice, Rhonda.

 

Can you post a pic from further back? Of the whole car would be nice as well.

 

Any update on production of 18's?

 

In regards to the 18" wheels, I will check with FVD Germany. I asked about them about 2 months ago and they answered "perhaps in 2011". I will check in again though...

Here is a little more information courtesy of the BBS Germany website:

Replaceable Rim Protector:
The rim protector made of polished stainless steel can be replaced easily without replacing the tire and can be ordered separately.

Technology:
Low pressure casting for long lasting performance. Weight optimized by FEM analysis, manufactured in a flow-forming process specially developed for Formula One.

Undercut, milled:
This technology helps to reduce the use of materials keeping mass to a minimum. Using a special procedure, spokes are milled to remove all unnecessary material so that weight is reduced and driving dynamics are increased.

Surface:
Finish: Matte Black or Brilliant Silver
Rim protector: polished stainless steel

Specials:
Innovative laser inscription. Weight optimization thanks to milled spokes.

Thanks,
Rhonda

 

Those wheels look awesome! I want a set for my 2002 996TT.

What tires and sizes do you recommend for the rear 12x19 rims?

thanks
