nice but CAST ???

 

Miss the CH's, had them on my M3... Too bad no 18's for my GT2

 

for those that must have a forged wheel, BBS DOES have a new FI wheel coming out for the Porsche 997 models

 

Center lock for the Turbo S?

 

You got that right. Their flow forming techniques are really cool.

You and us both! C'Mon BBS!!!

 

Low pressure cast, then shot-peened, then heat treated. Then tested to the same TUV standards that forged wheels are.

If you bend a BBS cast wheel, you were going to bend anything. Expensive does NOT mean bend-proof.

 

There will be no CH-R in a center lock as planned right now. The current casting they have set up cannot support it from a tooling standpoint.

 

had them on my S4... definitely a classic.

 

WE have a sets in black coming here monday! YAY. I'll be sure to get detailed pics up soon

 

I love the look of these wheels and they have dimensions for the GT3/RS's. I can put aside the cast issue. I've seen GT3's running OZ Ultraleggera HLT's. Look great and have not heard of any problems.
My problem is the weights. I believe the rears are > 28 lbs. The fronts maybe just under 24 lbs.
A few weeks ago FVD was offering the BBS CH-R's for a very good price.
They would be good for DD use and have your lightweight track wheels.
