Hi all,

I'm considering purchasing a 2nd set of rims,to use on trackdays, for my newly aquired RS.

I've always liked BBS's but does anyone have any thoughts or advise ?

Cheers,

Guy

Guy ,

BBS LM rims which are fairly cheap and are the most popular

you can then go for thre Dymag Carbon Fibre rims with Magnesium centere which weigh 7 kilos.

or you can go for the Manthay Magnesium wheels which weigh I believe under
7 kilos
Its all to do with price !

I think the (fairly) new BBS aluminium race wheel looks the best. Different to the BBS LM.

and a lot more money + the salty roads make them look *rap
also are they legal if you have a whack ?
( I think they say not for road use )

LMs are a nightmare to keep clean and corrosion free but they are a great looking wheel! many things state for race use only, including pagid yellow and orange brake pads
