Do it! I've been thinking about switching to the red/gold for a bit...

Apologies, but all these clean sets of bbs have me missing our last set.

Non t. Sorry.

Still have my RS301s.
Speaking of which, I need to rebuild these soon. Maybe swap them up and do a Prima Donna style.

Looks like we all have a few things in common here

It was not for the Cayman. That set was for the GTI.
I miss both of those cars. Funny enough, the Model 3 handling characteristics resembles the Cayman platform more than the GTI/Golf.

Has anyone tried the new Enkei Giotto's yet? They "seem" like they might just be aerodynamic enough to not lose much range.

18x8 +35 and 19x8 +35 would seem like a good OEM replacement or winter setup.

True dat. Especially if properly tuned up with coilovers and better tires.

No the face is too open. The ideal aerodynamic wheel has basically no Slots or very small ones of course that means poor brake cooling but it's all trade-offs

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Bring back Turbofans from the 80s aka BBS Turbofan covers for BBS RS/RFs, or OZs with the same covers.

They draw out hot air for brake cooling but also are smooth so that overall aero remains consistent.

Yeah an interesting question is where can we get one that would cover particularly aftermarket wheels? Don't need these around town but on our long road trips which we take at least two or three a year of these would be a real Boon to efficiency and range. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Of course brake cooling on our cars is a bit of a moot point unless you're tracking them and then you wouldn't use Arrow covers obviously in any case on track
