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.

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!
