V8 Wheels

[Kaklikian, Gary]

BBS wheels do NOT bend easily! I've got a set of 1pc 16"  with 215/40 tires
-- very stiff short sidewall - on a car with a very stiff suspension. I've
accidentally hit potholes and speed bumps, the latter which made my
windshield sound like it would crack, and the wheels have not bent! The
surface of the wheels does seem somewhat prone to nicks though.
Ronals are also top quality and the distributor offers good deals to Qclub
members.
