BBS Race Wheels
Along with our own car, we had two other cars here today (TT's) that had BBS race wheels on. That new "silver" finish and latest revision is not only the lightest but the new off-set gives the rear a rather "deep" dish for the bling guys I've changed wheels like 50X now but this time I'm sticking...

I've always loved BBS wheels. Not the best to look at IMO, but definitely one of the best performing. Function over form at its best. How much do they weigh?

Hey Alex. What's the secret to rolling the rears and not cracking the paint when fitting those 245's and 335's? Did you have to do the fronts also?

orijinal_poser is infamous around these parts
heat gun helps ease the cracking of the paint when rolling fenders.

Sharky. Love 'em. If I didn't already own four sets of wheels for my 997, I would have to have 'em. I'm still thinking about it anyway!

Hello. My name is Russ, and I have a wheel problem . . .

Every since I saw those wheels on the Cup cars at Laguna... I figured screw DOT They are so darn light, well made and heck they do look good too.

Sorry for the accidental edit Sharky, I meant to quote it.

Have you ever used one our fender rolling tools, or just assumed it was junk? Everyone I have ever sold one to has reported it worked great.
