The monoblocks are fantastically beautiful. **** really. BIG $$ and if you bend one you can't fix them cheaply. The 3 piece BBS use the CUP outhers, so likely they can be fixed on track if you have anyone there who supports CUP cars.

lopro, you don't have the track to test wheels. Come to Sebring and you understand.

Mike, I tried to send the car 2 times, but he was busy, and now I just ran of time to prepare my car for winterfest, so I can't no longer offer for now. Let's hope everything stills the same after winterfest, and we can get the wheels done.

That doesn't surprise me one bit from the conversation I had back in September with them.

Has anyone seen these?

http://www.championmotorsport.com/pr...p/cms-mm20.htm

I had Champion RF67's on my Mk. 1. They were stunning, strong and light.

I've seen the BBS monoblocks in person. Probably the best wheels I've ever seen in centerlock.

We had the TechArt Formula I in 18" on the GT3 to run slicks on them. They're made by BBS and work very good... With only five spokes they're easy to clean as well and in 18"-size, they're cheap too.

Never had any kind problems! Even after more then 20 trackdays they had no sign of wear...

indeed, just look at this thread, It's full of track wheel choices. I find it hard to make up my mind. Taking one of them out only makes it abit easer to choose from the pile
