I don't get it. BBS CH wheels are not really race wheels. Those are great looking but very heavy not like RG-R or LMs. I don't know why they put that cheap (compare to rest of BBS wheels) heavy wheels on race cars. (I had CHs on my E46M3 so I know)

Again, think production-based race car. The rules probbaly do not allow for ultra light weight wheels. I am sure some teams will run their own wheels within the rules as well.

I'm sure you can go directly to Ohlins and get this set up.

BMW did everything they can do to save the weight (taking carpets, interior panels off etc.) but replacing wheels will shave a lot of weights. I know they're smarter than me so there must be good reasons for it but I just don't understand.

Also, BMW won't get any special pricing on just a few sets custom race wheels, so might as well let the team sort out that issue. This is also true for several other components, such as shocks, springs, data acquisition, etc. It's a lot like politics -- just follow the $$$ and many otherwise puzzling issues are met with clarity! |

+1. The same shitty (aerodynamic however) mirrors everyone puts on their rice rockets. The first thing I said to myself when I saw them was: oh no, everyone will think this is hot stuff... Only good for racing...

2) Quick release Steering wheel - Steering wheel has a mechanism that allows the driver to quickly remove the steering wheel from the steering column thus making it easier to get in and out of the vehicle.

So anyone heard of an official weight for this car?
Also, are these the same cars that raced in the Dutch GT races this past weekend? If so, they looked great, but didn't dominate in the race. Might still take a few races to sort it out to make it competitive. |
