Default BBS RKs or SSR Competitions

Haven't kept up with the newest but as far as I recall (back in the day), these were the lighter affordable ones.

shouldn't be too difficult finding a set of used ones. I sold my old RKs for $1000 in mint condition.

BBS CH? You know they are called CHunkies for a reason. RCs or RXs.

Default What's wrong with you guys. OZ Superleggeras = 15.9 lbs = $280 at Tirerack.

We have heard many horror stories on this forum about bent SSR Comps and the only Superleggera damage we have seen has been do to serious road hazards. And they are cheaper. No brainer.
