Please report the stability at higher speeds (+180mph) to test the mith of unstable riding with lighter wheels.

Would look better with a Porsche center crest instead of BBS.
Thanks for the pictures though I am glad I got to see them on an actual car (which is a beautiful GT2) so thanks for showing!

It came up a long time ago, from Alois Ruf no less. No one agrees nowadays, but the legend has certainly lived on!Originally Posted by 12:03

From TB993tt:
I was quoting what Ruf was saying back 1988. The CTR Yellowbird ran at 213mph and journalists were impressed by its stability at these speeds, it was in response to questions about why it was so stable that Alois spouted about the wheels and their gyoscopic effect. He has since used this line again but probably only because his wheels have always been so heavy with the obvious but often overlooked trade off in strength...
