good wheels, despite pricing.
i wonder why BBS didn't do 9.5 up front on these or the 3 piece wheels. as 2010 cups run 9.5. plenty of clearance to spring and lip. but i am splitting hairs here. either set would be beautiful on the car.

Great looking wheels but you can get monoblocks with comparable weights at half the price... don't see benefits in the BBS to justify the price IMO...

it has a decal that says BBS.

in all seriousness, if i dont need 4-5 sets of wheels per car, i would spring for BBS like i did with my RS (3 piece). they are just better. put them side by side with other wheels.... some come close though.

That's nice. But I like this with a lip better. Would they make this too, or is this only possible on a car with wider wheels?

I'd get a set of the ones the hybrid too. Are those 18" or 19"?

Hybrid ones are 18". And they are (for now) not planning to make them in road-car centerlock setup.
Best, w

that's too bad because they are the best looking wheels.

These would be a done deal if they'd offer 9.5" front. And yes it's splitting hairs but at $10k you should get to split hairs...
