It is early morning — I mean, real early morning. I am sitting on a plane in transit to Vancouver. As I sit in the dimly lit cabin, I can’t help but think that maybe parents with infants shouldn’t be allowed on early morning flights. While I’m at it, I’d also like to add late-night flights, afternoon flights and evening flights to that list. I guess I’m saying that infants don’t belong on flights with me. Does this make me a bad person or a monster? Maybe. But I don’t really care. Anyway, how about these BBS wheels?
You are looking at some three-piece, forged aluminum BBS E88s. These BBS’ measure in at 18×10 up front and 18×11.5 in the rear. Wheels of this size, of course, help fill out the aggressive wide-body Rocket Bunny kit we are all so familiar with.
Here is a shot of the rear for good measure.
The car was built with the track in mind, but with the immaculate one-off British racing green pain, it’s hard to imagine this shiny piece of equipment doing anything but looking pretty.
It is no surprise that the FR-S can look unreal, but now the fun part comes. Soon it will be time for everyone to start pushing the performance end of the market for this platform and backing it up with results. I think we’ll see some pretty impressive results. After all, Gushi fared pretty well in his chassis for this past season of Formula Drift.
Ever since Taylor Scion let us take the FR-S out for a test drive, I’ve been infatuated with this platform. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for it.
