[s-cars] Autoweek news RE; BBS lightweight wheel technology

Actually, the 959's wheels had hollow spokes, that was back in '86.

I believe the big deal about the Technology wheels was that it was the first
application of hollow spokes in a low-pressure cast alloy wheel.

I don't think even the 959 was the first application.
