Does anyone happen to have pictures of the BBS 4x100 bolt 3-piece fsae wheels?

I would like to know what they look like.

Also, what are your opinions on them?? Are they easily bendable? and How much do they weigh?

Thanks guys.

Hi,

here's a picture of the set we used 3 years ago. As far is I know nothing changed since then. 13x6 inch, casted magnesium inner part and drilled aluminium outer bed. Stiff as hell, good finish but not that light, ~4.3kg per wheel.

Do your research on BBS's current financial situation. I seem to remember they were in real trouble a little while back, and a few teams around the world didn't get wheels they paid for.

Not sure if its true or not, but be wary nonetheless.

Great looking wheels though


Kind Regards,
