Very good point! I hadn't taken the time to count the number of paired spokes. The E19s have the same layout as E88 (click on E28 tab in the BBS link- they picture the CL version). These must therefore be a new variant not as yet shown on their site... Time to shoot my local distributor an email...

Got word from the local BBS dealer this arvo. It is the cup car wheel (as we knew) adapted for the GT3/RS centrelock system. BBS have just started making them and they don't have a formal designation as yet. They should hopefully be on their website soon. The ones in grey are 19s as they have the chrome section on a 45 degree angle...

Wonder if Rays will offer these wheels for road-going GT3's? I like the looks of these a lot better without all the small rim-to-center section bolts. Would have to be narrower than the 11" & 13" widths on the GT3 R.

I tried to look for this but couldn't. So is Rays the same as Volk?

I don't know Volk but Rays is out of Japan. A lot of wheels on their website but these aren't listed.

I am told that Forgeline now has centerlocks for the RS in two styles ZX3 and WC3R.
I haven't used them but a friend who races a monster corvette is a fan. He tried Fikses and found that they flexed!!!!! His car is 700 HP and generates over 1,000 lbs of down force at 120 MPH.
