BBS SR 17 x 7.5 +48
BBS SR 17 x 7.5 +48 21.8 LBS
http://www.bbs-usa.com/road-wheels-d...m?CLID=89&WF=4 I got some new wheels! I wish they were lighter but I honestly haven't noticed any difference for sure. Stock suspension and stock tires. What do you guys think. I want to drop it on swift springs but I guess you need rear control arms to get the camber right.... Please add this to the directory and let me know if you need any more info or pics.

Buy BBS wheels they said, you'll be popular on the forums they said.

Also, if you're ok with running -1.2 to -2.0 degrees of negative camber in the rear, then you can drop your car on springs with no worries at all. Just remember to rotate your tires. I'd guess that the majority of board members who lower their cars on springs do not get LCAs. |

Thanks man. Really most dont get LCA? I thought 2 degrees would have a big effect on handling?

I've always liked the look of that style BBS wheel...simply gorgeous to me. I could never live with that weight though.... if it were at least 5lbs lighter it would be about right. At least a majority of the mass is more centrally concentrated around the hub than most other wheel type designs are, giving a lower MOI.

Love them! 5/10 spoke wheels (on 5 lugs) - For The Win!
 Thanks for sharing! I don't think they were available in 18" when I got my SSR GTV03 but they would have made my choice tough. My first choice for my GTO were these BBS (below) on the Cadillac CTS-V World Challenge cars, very similar to yours. I ended up getting similar Forgeline VX3C. Beautiful wheels, take care of them...
