    Cool So the UPS guy says "I cant believe these are wheels these boxes are light" BBS RS II

    Well my new shoes came in a couple weeks ago. I wanted something very light and strong, based on my driving style and my plans for the car. I also wanted something stealthy, classic yet functional.

    BBS RS II
    18x8.5 front and 18x10 rear. 24 lbs front and 25 lbs rear

    Gonna replace my OEM 17" chrome in the spring. Other deciding factors are BBS is used by the majority of racing teams (OZ also is used) and the Team Lexus races cars use BBS. Ive visited and spoken to BBS engineers here in Braselton, GA (a 1/4 mile from Road Atlanta) and they were very convincing.

    I'll post pics soon, posting this from my PDA on lunch.

    You mean they weren't persuading you to buy O.Z. or SSR wheels? Geeze, what's marketing and employee loyalty coming to these days?!!
