Not any weaker that's for sure... They're over the top but hey... A full set of those including the special torque tool to remove 'em is 850 (yeaouch!).

Those bolts remind me of the Challenge Stradale wheel bolts.

Sharky,
Doesn't BBS Motorsports discourage the use of their forged magnesium/aluminum racing wheels on the street?

You'd be very right about that Justin. In fact, the owner of the car they're going on has a Challenge Stradale too and hence he just "had to have 'em"...

The MAG's yes (you don't really want to get water, heat, cold etc... at 'em) but the Alluminiums are not like that

Heya Doug, you can get the NB offset too in these and you can use a dummy center lock or BBS center cap (Porsche ones won't work tho). Those are also 4440 shipped...

Cheers!
