That BBS design is my favorite so far. Often, the classic designs are best, and they've been around forever for good reason. Close copies of that original BBS design have been done by many other manufacturers.

Back in the day, they were some of the lightest forged wheels available. I remember even Porsche’s were rocking them.

They are still an OEM option on the MX-5 Club model, in a "BBS/Brembo/Recaro" package. We have one.

BBS's are used by the Corvette Race Team on the Racing C8R.

Those are nice. The price goes up on them. I prefer the black for a white car but I bet these would be nice on a dark car

Just for the record, I hate black wheels on any color Vette. And I think these would look just a good as my current R86 wheels do on my C7.

Did you purchase these from Tire Rack? They look good although I like the polished ceramic better, fitment good?

I did purchase the package with Tire Rack. Decent pricing and it included the rings, sensors, lug nuts etc. I needed all seasons so this made sense. Pilot Sport All season4 ZP
Fitment is good in back- could have been a bit more aggressive in the front.

looks good, i'll be purchasing a set just as soon as my 21 goes to 3000,IMHO the wheel options for the C8 kind of suck, needed some kind of shiny wheels for us older guys
