The reason for the initial comment, which was poorly constructed and should have been more specific, was never about quality, but was about the technicality of TUV approval because I have friends in Germany who have mechanics who are unwilling to install almost anything on a road car that does not have that technicality of TUV approval.

Apologies if I offended. Actually I wrote that sentence as I felt the Vendor who opened the title might feel that my comments might be against the product.
And I spent time to write the explanation as I really appreciate the time you invest to share your experiences in your weight saving topic and the photos from your instagram flow. I really enjoy them

Just to be clear, I dont know if the wheel has any certification or not.
I just tried to explain the process in Germany - nothing more. Now I shut up

Thank you but, on the contrary, it was I who offended by sloppy writing and not completing the thought. Re BBS, as I said, in my opinion, there is no better metal wheel. About Instagram, a few people asked me to do it. I think I have 200 "Followers"; just 5,000,000 more and the two cats might give me respect though I doubt it. Seriously, there must be thousands of Instagram pages that have pictures of cars and/or cats so, perhaps, a few might like what I am doing (of course, to achieve widespread popularity, cars and/or cats).

Appreciate your info as it's the fact and not a biased opinion. As a business owner that's also why I only sell what I believe in. As a frequent traveller to Germany, one drive on autobahn will make people understand why the TUV has such high standard. At avg cruising speed of 130mph or more, no question every component of the car should be carefully examined & tested.

Not to shift focus but I was fortunate to be involved of a carbon wheel development in the early stage and have witnessed all the strict categories that the wheel had to go through in order to pass TUV. That certainly made you think twice about looking at wheels made down the street. More comment on that may offend hundreds if not thousands wheel companies here. All I can do is to choose what we sell.

They look great... @localmotion411 would you happen to have a side pic with them against chalk? They look like a very subtle gold to me, just wondering if that is different from side view. Must be epic in person....
