The savings is that you can buy a complete set of SVE Drift wheels ($169.99 each) for less than the price of one BBS wheel. ($725.00 each) I had a set of the BBS wheels and they were nice but I don't feel like spending four times the amount when the look I am looking for is much cheaper.

As far as the weight of the wheels, These wheels weigh about the same if I remember correctly as the factory wheels. I will not be racing or tracking my car, I am just wanting new wheels for a different look.

Right...so money is an issue then.

Have you looked at the TSW Nurburings? They are ~$250 each and weigh only 21 lbs. You can have the look AND the weight savings of the BBS for a fraction of the costs....as opposed to only the look of the BBS with the SVE's.

BTW, the BBS racing wheels can be had for much less than $725. I already told you Rehagen racing sells them for alot less than that.

I get the feeling this guy isn't even listening to us:shrug:

I am saying that I can pay that much for a BBS wheel, I just choose not to pay that much for a set of wheels again unless it is a wheel I REALLY want. I had a 2010 Camaro SS and really liked the look of the Jay Leno concept and as soon as the BBS wheels became available for that car, I ordered them from Tire Rack.

I like the look of the TSW wheel, I just don't like the gray graphite appearance, IMHO it looks like some brake dust that has built up on the wheel and needs to be cleaned. I want the bright silver look and if I want to try them black, I can Plast Dip them and can easily go back to bright silver if/when I choose.

Can you please post some more pics of the car showing the spoiler from different angles please? I like it and since my car is the same color, I'd like to see some more angles to know if its for me or not.

Thanks.

For anyone who has replaced the boss spoiler with the gt500 spoiler, do you need to do any modifications to make it fit/how long are they to install?

Thanks for the additional pics. It does look great. I think it would look good in all black too, as others have commented. But the white is nice!

No drilling is needed to swap to the GT500 spoiler. Search some of the other threads for install tips. Main issue is cutting the 3M foam tape with fishing line or string.
