The step lip is where its at. With a +15 to +30 offset. Nothing better than a BBS LM or LM-r!!! I love the mesh LeMans wheels. So classic and will prolly never go outta style!
I can totally appreciate Adam drooling over that wheel in the beginning...those really are gorgeous wheels w/ the polished outer and the gold centers...so nice..
I can understand how americans like German made BBS Wheels,same as we like american made Centerlines specially on hotrods, it depends on the car you put them on... not sure though how Centerlines match up quality wise.
What you just saw was a fanboy meeting his idol/hero and losing the ability to speak coherently or think in complete sentences. Kind of cute and real. No thought of being cool; just trying not to drool.
BBS they started to say it they were ripped off copied whatever ARE had a weak copy the Pontiac GTA I liked them Volkswagen atleast they paid to put them on there early 90s GTI or GLI im sure theres alot more that im not thinking of I dig them thanks for the tour
Carolla may not have the engineering knowledge but how many people do? The subtleties in his language reveal his depth of understanding of the car hobby. He gets it.
Wheels is a relatively new term, EVERYBODY used the term rim's up until the last 10 years or so, a wheel was the entire unit, rim + tire = wheel. dig up some old advertising and you will see rim used all the time.
