Ugly! Ferrari/BBS need a better solution...

[SGWilko]

Nothing else left to bash about Ferrari?!
Next problem will be that the cars are painted red.

You got a point about the colour there, Crimson was always the Ferrari colour, not fag ash Marlboro red.

We just saw them today, holy smokes the painted wheel covers need to go. I never had a problem with some of the aero fittings on the cars being perhaps a bit unsightly because they are needed. This is different though, it's horrifyingly hideous,

Apparently the aero covers on the wheels covering the BBS logo's upset BBS, so they pushed for a logo on the cover. Today at Istanbul, the cars are running with 1-dimensional, non-rolling BBS stencils that look like something a fourth-grader would do in arts-and-crafts on the wheel covers. Would it have been too hard to put a BBS logo on the car? I hope that's the plan and this is just temporary.

...as if we didn't know what kind of wheels they were anyways...

No argumants here. The cars do look a bit trashy in their current guise

At least when I buy the model of the F2007 for my collection, it will be sitting still on the shelf so it won't be a problem.

Maybe they could embed LEDs in the wheel covers so the cars could spell out messages as the pass by if front of the cameras - things like "Marlboro," etc. and sell even more advertising "space." Or they could make the LEDs light in a "spoke" motion giving the appearance of turning wheels.

By the way, anyone know what's the BBS-company's current situation?

I remember hearing something about their bankruptcy some time ago. I've always admired their wheel's and was kind of surprised to hear about their difficulties...
