ESSENTIALS MODERN AND CLASSIC

The tempting trinkets that enhance Porsche ownership

A modern wheel with classic overtones. So says BBS of its latest rolling stock, known as the BBS CC-R. On sale in spring 2018, the new rims are manufactured using BBS'S flow forming technique, which enables a high-volume production process to create wheels with both low weight and high strength. The distinctive styling is partly a function of the spokes being CNC milled from the rear. What's more, five graphite-coloured spokes overlaid with five diamond-cut Y spokes lend a distinctive '3D' look with added visual depth. However, due to that diamond-cut finish BBS does not recommend the wheels for winter use. Initially available in 19and 20-inch diameters, BBS says 21- and 22-inch options will follow.
