Beautiful GTR but I have to ask:

Whats this fascination on the BBS wheels? they seem very average and there are many dozens better looking wheels out there that are 3piece forged.

I just don;t get what peopel see in these BBS wheels. They don't seem special to me at all.

just my 2 cents.

They are forged light weight wheels with serious racing tradition
(used in Formula 1 cars). These go for over $1K per wheel...

LMs, RS-GTs (2 piece) and RG-Rs (1 piece) are very nice. I don't care
for the rest of them though...

so, did they actually figure out the TPS issue? I'd hate to be driving around with a 70k+ car in limp mode with the check engine light on just for some pimp wheels.

Seems that they'll be compatible with Nissan's TPMS

Here's the info on the wheels.

In a limted run of 100 sets famous European wheel manufacturer BBS will be producing it’s LM-DBK-P (LM Model, Diamond Black, Polished) wheels for the R35 GT-R to be released in May 2008 to the Japanese market only.

Specs:

Front Wheels: 20x9.5J offset +40 5x114.3 PCD
Rear Wheels: 20x10.5J offset +20 5x114.3 PCD

These wheels will feature the red BBS center caps which look so good as well as be compatible with the Nissan tire pressure management system (TPMS) which is fitted to the R35 GT-R.

Priced at 175,350 JPY per front wheel and 181,650 JPY per rear wheel these are definitely not for anyone without deep pockets at just over $7k USD plus shipping a set.

Personally I’ve been waiting since December for someone to put some BBS wheels on their GT-R and now it looks like that wait is almost over.
