the 2013 CUP is the one to watch........ The 2010-2011 widebody Cups are going to be interesting cars in terms of values with introduction of the 2013 Cup/motor......

The 997 GT3-R already comes with RAYS Wheels. Not too surprised about that.

That I knew.

I'm wondering if Porsche making a wholesale switch to RAYS in light of BBS' recent financial troubles.

Porsche is testing and doing a lot of development with new suppliers to improve the performance or have a second option for their racing teams so that they do not fall behind.

This is just an example of that. Whether it will be a complete supplier switch or not, is tough to say right now. But, to even be an official supplier to Porsche or Porsche works teams says volumes about a brand.

Porsche and BBS have had too long of a relationship to simply switch due to temporary financial troubles.

Understood. RAYS supplies Williams F1 with wheels, so I have no doubts of their capabilities. I was just surprised considering the volume of Cups sold.
