This story is still amazing to me. The wheels are finally here and I still don't really believe it. Anyone that may of been associated with FWD Drag Racing for a while might remember a very rare, not very used drag wheel built by BBS back in the late '90s, early 2000's. I have known about these 4x100 BBS Drag Wheels since approximately 2004 when the only 2 sets that I knew of in existence belonged to Stacey Hyche and Tracey Hyche who ran a NDRA Turbo 4 Integra and a NDRA Comp 4 Civic.

Very few of these seem to be on the market and known about. Offered in both Leather and Suede the Suede ones are the holy grail for anyone...
