HN-GT2997, congrats. If you like the look, this is the "best" wheel on the market right now, all things considered. If they indeed keep the price below 7000, it will be a home run.

Thanks Can

LOL Mike you took the words right out of my mouth. Something like a 7 fork mesh wheel, boring and traditional, but still a classic and pretty to look at.

I think BBS is looking for a modern look and some people do actually **LOVE** the design. Surely the wheel gets very strong reaction both ways -- people either love it or hate it.

Milou you're welcome. Are you going to get these wheels too?

I have been intouch with BBS-USA and they said they are working on making the BBS FI availble through US distributors. No time frame yet. If I get any updates I will post it here.

Yes, I am one of those that really likes the look and with the light weight - I can't wait to buy them. HN-GT2997 I am very envious, looking forward to your pics.

Yeah and look where Dymag is today. I used the orig magnesium Dymag on my race bikes back in the '70s.
