Default BBS - The Best Wheel

Over the years, I have been asked numerous times what I thought was the best wheel. Without hesitation, I have always answered BBS. Indeed, every car I have owned has had BBS wheels. I was therefore pleased that BBS won the Best New Product Award at SEMA for its one-piece forged magnesium wheels for the GT3RS.

To be honest, those are the 918 Spyder optional wheels made with the proper offset and bore centre for the GT3RS.

There was also a CH-R center lock wheel at the BBS booth at SEMA this week. Sadly it was a 20" one. If they made those in 19" I'd be sending my money in pronto!

If you look carefully, it is different than the 918 Weissach wheel. Look at the area of the spokes/rim of the Weissach wheel. Different than the WEC wheels

The GT3 RS wheel was inspired by the race car. See the attached.

Do they make a forged aluminum wheel in either stock RS sizes (or 20") but in the same design as the Magnesium? And with the weight savings as the FIR's?
