I read somewhere that BBS makes light weight rims for Mantly motors. They were 18 inch - 18lbs front and 20lbs rear.

Looks very nice and fresh. Still trying to get used to them. Thanks for sharing. Do you feel any difference in handling?

Thank you, well the design is not really "new" it's just classic.

Anyhow now i have 35 lbs less on the wheels... (measured) compared to stock. About the handling I don't know yet, will try the car tonight.

Hope you like it as much as I do..

They look stunning, even more so if you factor in the price. I like them a hell of a lot and the value proposition of these is off the chart! Nicely done, and some excellent rotational weight savings have been achieved.

Great value for money.. I have 42 track sessions (spread over 4 days) on mine now and they have been flawless...

Overall, my favorite wheel has to be the Champion Mg wheels, but at $9K+ a set, I don't think they are worth the 1.5 lbs/wheel savings. Nice to look at though...



Nice lioking
what is the price then

If I recall they are like 1,200 to 1,500 a wheel. I have the same wheels in gloss black. Pic above makes me miss the OE gray finish.
