I thought I had a set of these, off a Cayman S, for 1500 bucks, but it turned out to be misrepresented. They wouldn't fit the box.......

$3580, plus shipping from tirerack. toooooooooo much.......

I had those BBS wheels on a previous car. Both front wheels dented just like my factory Carreras. Paid $65 to get the dent removed and sure enough they dented a second time.

Reminded me of my Cannondale bicycle. Forked over $1000 for a frame. Went out for a ride came back, leaned the bike against a table..bike fell over and hit the edge of a chair. DENT...size of a quarter, talk about an eye sore. Cannondale said solly buddy you bought it you bent it.

Go for the good stuff if you plan on keeping the car long term.

You need to get out of New Jersey, Perfect lap. I've never dented a wheel, down here in Florida. I did ruin two on my Acura CL on Long Island.......

Ha, hahhhhh!! We are known for our layed back lifestyle, lapman! I go to the city and can't figure out why you guys are all running around with your heads chopped off. We'll get it done, take it easy!
If you go near the area, you MUST go to Mt. Dora. It's northeast of Orlando.
Magnificent.
