Close but no cigar

BBS have a wheel with the identical face to the GS, used on the current Porsche GT3 cup cars - also with the screws as per yr example

Dimensions/offsets will be different but will check nxt time im working with them

Nota fan I'm afraid....Look too aftermarket for me with that shiny front on the black......better off with the BBS ch or a wheel like that...Thats if BBS do a wheel to fit a GS as not many do.....

HRE do some very nice wheels and will make them for Maserati but they are expensive...

Just to clarify, the OEM GS wheels are BBS, not sure where BBS are at as they had some financial issues ealry this year.

Matt, if you go on the BBS link there may be a contact there.....I know the only BBS dealer is in Ireland for us so may be worth calling them......BBS are now running as they were bought tyrolequity...

Good call ill do that. If they are now a new company the existing agreement on the GS wheels might now be void.

Hi Matt,

I tried this around 18 months ago and got a flat "no". Despite them acnkowledging they had made the wheels, they told me they could not sell them to me directly in the right fitment. Thinking about it....maybe they would sell them with a different offset, and we could look at getting spacers made??

Cheers
Woody

I know a chap who can manufacture wheels - if it is of any help, I can find out the cost to produce a set. Ideally I would want a stronger wheel as cracks seem too common for my liking.

Indeed, I would have to check the legal angle with this......as Maserati will already be aware what we are doing (afternoon fellas) so we have to go about this the correct way.

If you can contact me via PM I will update the troops with the relevant info.

Less to do with Maserati and more to do with BBS

That exact design is used also on Porsche wheels
