    Spotted these on Ebay today and I'm fairly certain are a direct copy of SanFran's 360 CS wheels:

    For those new; Sanfran is a member here that sells 360 CS style wheels for the 360.

    CS wheels aren’t concave for the rears, so they were never “CS style” to begin with.

    I assume San Fran/Oliver sold his rights to his development and plans to the company for a sum of money

    Any wheel producer can copy/mimic the OEM CS Wheels easily. Nothing too special to be honest.

    Seems a bit churlish too to complain about someone copying the work you copied from someone else in the first place.

    That's the thing, he didn't just copy the wheels, these had to be developed.
    they are different offset and are concave and not convex due to the lower offset

    The convex ones are sanfrans wheel and the concave ones are the oem cs.

    The photo clearly shows the rear wheels...and that they are different.

    Also, the original BBS were cast wheels, these are cnc forged.


    More details:
    Rear Wheel Weight Savings of 2.7 LBS per wheel. That is a huge weight reduction for one single wheel.

    * Front Wheel Weight Savings off 1.10 LBS per wheel. Remember the front wheel got wider, from 7.5" to 8".

    * sizes are 8x19 et 28 mm, 10x19 et 30 mm. That is 9 mm further out than OEM Challenge wheel. The stock et numbers are 9 mm higher because they sit 9 mm further inside the fenders

    Design wise, these appear to be a mix between Challenge Stradale wheels and BBS Challenge wheels offered in different sizes and offset.

    I’m considering spec ing one out for my 355 just for kicks :).
