BBS fo life.

I need to find some BBS's for the RX-8!

bring the works to dgrr and I will take them off your hands

Track the BBS & street the Works, I personally think BBS have a Track feel to them more so than the Works.

Interesting - how would I get the car back to CT? I can't even fit my carryon bag in the 7

It's a very real possibility at this point

Odd, while I agree with this statement, I originally bought the Works with a set of Toyo RA-1's on them and planned on using them solely for track. Now I'm undecided. Popular vote will have it though.

Joe likes the works. Reason? MOAR SPOKE LESS MESS IN THE CENTER.

I love both though and am an advocate of mesh style wheels. They're just so hawt.

RotorDad · 04-07-2010, 01:53 PM

To be honest you have two great sets of wheels & yes I'm ODD LOL

Rotary Inspired · 04-07-2010, 09:26 PM

Works hands down. I am a huge BBS fan but that set of works does the car more justice than the BBS. Its just the 2 sets we are comparing. I would generally say BBS. It would be a good problem to have to choose between 2 nice sets.

WE3RX7 · 04-08-2010, 02:25 PM

I'm not really sure why this debate still goes on... I'm pretty sure I said Works and last I checked, I don't negotiate!!

One more thing to keep in mind.... you brought BBS to DGRR last year, same wheels more than one year in a row = lame.

oh wait, forgot your not an FD guy (yet).... same wheels are ok.

I love the meshies as well. If the 'vert wheels were a decent size, I would've gotten them a long time ago.

You've got it though, it's the center of the things that throw me off. Somedays I like the BBS's carrying the 'mesh' all the way, other I like the clean yet different works.

Yeah, I got lucky with both sets, I won't lie. I appreciate your reasoning though, thanks. I think the works set her off a little more as well, and give her a little more attitude mabe?

Yeah, well..... yeah. Pop vote is gonna take it and right now it looks like the works have it.

And hold on a sec, I own an FD.... just becuase she doesn't run doesn't mean I'm not an FD guy. How many FD owners have FD's that sit in a garage? I'm just part of the smaller group of owners who haven't driven them and have only had the opportunity to sit in the car and make vroooom vroooooom VROOOOOOM psshhhhhh noises

Rotary Inspired · 04-09-2010, 08:19 PM

Nothing wrong w/ making the Vroom sounds. We've all done it.

I have been fortunate enough to have fb, fc, fd, and fe. They are all a little different. But the FD just screams hardcore sports car more than the others. You will enjoy it. I am now going from having a FC 10th AE and a Rx8 to having another vert and the 10th AE.

Definitely more attitude w/ the works.
