    Default Broken BBS wheel

    My son sent me this link last night of a broken BBS wheel - OUCH! I don't know the specifics of how this happened. He's coming in the office in a few hours and I'll ask. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...vitali/new.jpg

    Wow! I had that happen once with a Renault 5 TL. Except the wheel wasn't a BBS

    Still, it's a strange feeling to see one of your wheels roll away on it's own If that is what happened here?

    I spoke with my son. The image is from the Supra forums and the caption was something like, " . . . this is a result of the accident." Seems like it ought to be "this is the cause of the accident"

    Drive carefully, Curt.

    Doesn't look like any BBS wheel that I've ever seen. Usually, only Brand-X wheels come drilled with two separate lug patterns.

    Those centers clearly say ASA... and the dual bolt pattern deviates from the norm BBS.

    You're right. I glanced at the left wheel before posting but didn't study it.

    Actually no. They are "licensed" by BBS, but they are a seperate company.
