BBS FI wheels instock (no wait)

bump for these! great wheel for sure, I saw them on a 430 at a shop here in washington

 

What tire setup did you recommend to the customer that purchased the wheels?

 

So is there another set available or just the one set that got sold? Throughout the thread it seemed as if you had a total of 2 sets?

Also I read that BBS was coming out with a wider/better (?) fitment for the front on these wheels for the 430?

 

Interesting. Please elaborate.

 

Jason (atomic80) can better explain as he has a set on his yellow scud.

He posted on another forum about how he got a set but that the fronts needed spacers. The second generation of the wheels won't need spacers. I think that was the issue.

 

Yeah! he is the one i saw with them. They look awesome!

 

Correct. I bought the 2nd generation from Rob at Vivid Racing, just put them on and they look great, no spacers required. I also bought the full Capristo Scuderia exhaust with programmable valves and I highly recommend Rob, great service.

FWIW, the claimed weight reduction on the BBS FI wheels is 13kg; but you will only get circa 6kg if you go for the wider tyres to suit the rims. I have Pirelli Tropheo's- 245 front and 305 rear. The fronts are fine; but the rears are probably one size too large. Go for 295's if you can get them in your choice of tyre.

****! Thats HOT!

 

Stage 1 of my project. I'll start a thread on it when I get a bit further along.

 

Is your car lowered, or euro spec height?

 

Sadly this car is not lowered but it desparately needs to be ....

 

Standard settings ATM, it will be set up for real world conditions down the track. I like to drive my cars hard, so I will leave the slammed look to the cafe strip crawlers.

 

Super cool wheels!!!!

 

Thank you VERY much for the pics. Do you know the offsets?

 

That's what the 458 "Scuderia" NEEDS to look like. Good GOD that's amazing!

-G.B.

 

I would be happy to check for you; but ATM the car isn't in the garage as it is off getting a bunch of carbon fibre panels fitted.
It will be back in a few weeks and I can check then.

 

360C,

What color BBS FI wheels are those ? Is that the Titanium finish ?

Thanks

 

Yes, that's the titanium finish which is the same as the 599 GTO.

 

yeah, we need the offsets. I'd like to know how the fitment would be on a CS - can't know without knowing the offsets.

 

Any wheel that fits the Scuderia, fits the F430, Modena and Stradale.

 

360C,

Rear: The 295 or 305 Tropheo have a Diameter of 665 mm ... stock rear tire diameter is 680 mm, thats ( - 15 mm ) drop in the rear..

Front: Tropheo is 656 mm in Di, stock front is 647.7 mm, thats increase of ( + 8.3 mm )

So car is going to sit higher in the front and lower in the back. (almost 24 mm difference front to back Vs OEM, thats a lot)

Anyone have better tire options for these wheels ? i just placed my order for these same wheels, and trying to figure out which tires to go with, have about a month to decide until wheel arrive.
Thanks..
