Anyone using these race wheels? I am considering buying the mag centers and wheel halves to make a custom set of 16x10 and 16x11.5 wheels for the beast (so I can run the small diam race slicks to lower the car more).

Anyone... anyone... Bueller...

I am concerned about any cracking issues or fatigue issues seen, or if they have been great wheels, etc...

those wheels are awsome. i had BBS make me a set of 18x9 and 18x11 for my carrera S. you can call BBS motorsport, they are in GA.

i also had 3 sets of them on my WSR sport racer (13")

the centers are superlight and you can always change or replace an inner or outer rim half if you bend it or want to change offset or width.

cool, yeah I am searching around for quotes on them right now - apparently those wheels must be gold plated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) but I agree about the great feature that the halves can be swapped to change sizings. I am just hell-bent to be able to run those small diameter GT2 tires from Hoosier or Goodyear...

How light were your 18s? Where did you get yours from, BBS directly or a particular seller?
