Pretty much. BBS was the OG of fancy sporty wheels. They made a lot of racing wheels too. But nowadays there's a bazillion companies selling wheels, many of them forged, and a ton of them are just produced by nameless alibabe factories.

True! I had the BBS Mahle wheels on an e21 many many many years ago. Magic.

Here is some hype. History

That blows. Hope neither Recaro seat in the Miata ever gets messed up. A sign that I should sell it & overpay for an Elise/Exige vs wait for more correction? LOL!

Me either. The Miata community goes nuts over them on the ND. I'll take the aftermarket wheel of my choice instead!
