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

WOW, love those wheels..
They look like the Ferrari 599 GTO wheels...

Only down side (besides price), is that they are not made for track use... i need a light wheel that i can track.

It's not a myth. It's utter nonsense with no basis in science.

I couldnt agree more.

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!

The BBS F1s are 6061T6 Forged aluminum.
They sell for about $8000 per set.

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

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
http://www.rennteam.com/forum/thread...html#p20156309

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...
