SupremePower is vendor here selling them. I believe I read somewhere that the going rate is $20k-ish. I assume they could ship to U.K. for you.

Is BBS magnesium wheel the exact same as OEM magnesium wheel in term of looks and design?.
thank you Slightly different detail at end of spoke vary in pricing depending on color and current stock...$30-38K typical BBS MAnthey Racing WEC Mag wheels are 2lbs lighter per wheel and are $19750/set OEM: https://ph-classic-prod-images.s3.am...image002-L.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DXM8VGFX0AADZGY.jpg https://d3lp4xedbqa8a5.cloudfront.ne...sc/img0081.jpg BBS Manthey Racing WEC: https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...7918448ad1.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...82a69440d9.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...db83bc129b.jpg BBS Manthey Racing WEC: |
What’s the weight on these versus regular rims.
|
Hey RL,
I want a set of BBS mag wheels BAD. Can you feel the weight difference? I believe the BBS are 7 lbs per corner lighter than stock .2 GT3RS wheels - does it register on the butt dyno? Quicker transitions? How well would a set hold up on the street assuming good roads and reasonable pothole avoidance? Thanks. |

The aftermarket BBS Magnesium wheels come in at approximately 15.95 lb (7.23 kg) for the fronts & 21.9 lb (9.93 kg) for the rears. The OEM Magnesium wheels (also built by BBS) come in at +2 lbs per corner on those weights. We have more information here on our BBS Magnesium Guide - https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...-boutique.html

I don't believe this difference in weight would be noticeable on anybody's butt dyno no matter how well tuned it is ;) haha. Both are going to be equally as durable - which is to say extremely durable even in the worst road conditions. We have one set of the OEM Magnesium's left for sale.

The wheels are over engineered by BBS and will be durable for road or track use. We still recommend steering way clear of any potholes!! If you need assistance we would be happy to get you guys set up. |

Quicker accelerations. Quicker transitions. Quicker stops. The wheels are over engineered by BBS and will be durable for road or track use. We still recommend steering way clear of any potholes!! If you need assistance we would be happy to get you guys set up. If there isn't much why choose the OEM Mags over the Fi Rs in the first place..? |

Interesting to see that the OEM Mag rims are basically the same weight as BBS Fi Rs..Taking that statistic into account is there any advantage with former compared to the latter in terms of dynamics and even more importantly durability and strength..

So like one big pothole and they’re toast? I’m pretty good at dodging them. Any RLers with real world street experience who can weigh in? Thanks.
