If I did the math right, looks like they save about 7 lb per wheel, or about 31% savings on front and 27% on rear (just the wheel). If you add the tire weight the % reduction would be quite a bit less (maybe half) - I think the tires are 25-30 lb each.

Paired with PCCB the steering feel must be phenomenal.

I switched my GT4 from OEM wheels with Michelin PSC2 to BBS FI-R with Michelin PS4S and did not lose any perceptible steering feedback or response. I attribute this to the reduction of unsprung weight.
The ride is also more controlled with this setup. The change is perceptible, but it is a smaller difference than changing from steel to ceramic brakes.
The GT4 equipped with both BBS FI-R wheels and PCCBs is a lot of fun to drive on the street!
Originally had planned to leave this car fairly stock but I couldn't pass up an opportunity to mount my favorite set of bbs' on the car. Car originally came with black wheels and I was uncertain how the silver on silver was going to turn out. But ended up looking rather nice. Enjoy!
Wowzers!!
Assuming this is GT Silver, I can't thank you enough for posting this and putting me at ease.
I have a set of the exact same wheels and finish that will be going on my 981 Spyder finished in GT Silver. My stock wheels are also black and I was hesitant to buy the BBS in Silver due to possible lack of contrast.
I have yet to mount them since Winter came right about the same time I received my wheels.
Now... I can't wait to get them on.
Looks stunning!
I may just be the first and only with these BBS FIR's in GT4 fitment to be fitted on a 981 Spyder.....
hope no one minds a bump. i see a few FI-R/GT4 owners on this thread.
could you share where you guys got your wheels? i'm starting my search and would like to talk to people who've "been there, done that", so to speak.
Supreme power parts because they were the first ones to get them in from BBS. There are probably more options now but working with them was great so I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again.
