Default FS: BBS wheels

Set of 4 BBS wheels 9's and 11's with 6GT3 offsets. As near as I can tell these are the early magnesium centered BBS racing wheel. Straight but as the pictures show they are not flawless. They also have REALLY thick hubs so you'll need long studs. The Hoosiers on them are toast so I'll have them taken off and will clean them up before shipping.
I'm in Canada and shipping across the border can be an issue. I'll be in Spokane later this month and can box them up and ship from there. US$2000 + shipping.

Leigh, PM sent. What are you moving to if you are no longer using these great wheels?

These are my 3rd set of wheels and I've decided to get another set of HRE wheels like my others if I get another set at all. I'm considering taking the leap into a cup car rather than sinking a whole pile more cash into the 6GT3. Must be nuts but that's the plan; hopefully my wife will knock some sense into me when she finds out...

Well I think I need one too so it's now 2:1 against the wife so a pretty strong position to start the negotiation Besides I need some way to get past you Mike and Dave next time at THill....

A Cup Car, interesting. That will put an end to following you around the track at a distance, shame I was starting to drive at a respectable pace.

Good luck selling the wheels.

I'm stuck with trailering anyway. The nearest track is Calgary which is a 3 hour drive and was due to close next year but just got a reprieve until 2015. I must have 5000+ laps of that track and it's getting a bit boring and the next closest track is Spokane that's 12 hours away. IMO might as well drive the extra day or so to THill or some of the other norcal tracks. Plus I hardly drive my car n the street anyway it's like taxiing an F18 to work

I'm trying to get a grip on the maintenance as well. My understanding is that it's basically a GT3 and if you keep the RPM down to the street car levels the engines last far longer than the 100 hour limit...plus 100 hours is a heck of a lot of DE days and a few race weekends. I'm very familiar with what my race car used to need for maintenance to run a winning season and I'm not going there again....something a LOT more relaxed is the plan.

I winning season is an order of magnitude more expensive then being mid pack, I agree.

If you have so little tracks near you, why don't you leave the car with some shop in the states and fly down when ever you want to do a DE or club race. Sure glad I have 3 cool tracks (LCMT, CMP, Icar) within 3 hours.

i did that when i was racing, I would fly to the track and it would be there waiting.

Now I leave the car in my garage at the track (SM in vegas), fly down play and go. Beats the **** out of towing.
