New BBS Wheel

At least, new to their website. VERY light forged. 20 rear, 16 front. 19" only. Black only as far as I can tell. Not cheap...almost $2K per wheel.

Yeah they have been out for a little while now. I have seen them on a few BMW's but no Porsche's yet. Certainly a fantastic wheel if money is not your concern. Fitments are very sporty with only offering a 12" rear! Nice nice nice

There's a reason that BBS is bankrupt and this is it imo. Nice wheel but it's 2x the price of a simular weight wheel.

They do come in silver and they look like nice wheels but not for $9K (I was quoted that for my Turbo).

Good luck.

Don't really care for the way they look on that GT2, but there is amember here that has them on his Scuderia and they look great.

They do look great on a Scud, even better on a 599 GTO! I agree on the Porsche comment too.

Am sure they will appeal to the "got to have the latest bling " crowd but the price is hard to justify given their similarity to so many other wheels on the market. But, to each his own.

not really 'bling' since they only weigh 18-19 lbs (front / rear) if i remember correctly.. and they only fit widebody at this time

i don't think they are $2k each tho.. but they are expensive.

16.4 F, 20.3 R as I recall. Damn light for their size. Plus I would believe them to be strong (typical BBS). Anyone can make light.

Avaliable from FVD as well. Fronts are 8.75" (ET50), rears 12" (ET50) or 11.25" (ET55). In additon to black and silver they also come in "ceramic polish".
