New BBS RS-GT Forged Split Rim - Yay or a Nay ? - Your thoughts
Rich:
Well... yupp... gonna save up for some new rims...
I've grown to like split rims, expensive and will take a good while to save... but should be worth it right ?
Your honest true opinions are appreciated chaps :smiley:

Aparoon:
I think they will look awesome, very expensive though and will not look right unless you lower the car too :smiley:

Those BBS are part of their family of 'Y' spoked alloys which all look very dateless and classic imo. I also like the look of split rims. If you like those, then why not consider TC's alloys.
Personally, at £3.5k I'd be thinking of spending another £1.5k and getting some carbon rim Dynamag's which would have the weight and other performance advantages.
But why do this on a Pirelli which already has unique wheels unless it was for weight advantages?
H DUBS:
I think they are SWEET.
Agree with Aparoon about the rest.
Have u seen a pic of your car with them on????
