You are correct.

The main reason is the BB's reduce the unsprung weight by 50 pounds, which is a bunch.

I also like the looks of the BB's better and I can live with the flat spots and the other quirks they have.

I like the BBs also. Just think the look with the sloppy paint job looks so vintage. I rotate mine in the garage every few weeks when the car is idle and it only takes a couple miles to heat them up and then they drive great unless you are on a crappy road they will wonder a bit. You do need to check tire pressure as they will slowly lose air over time but that's just good maintenance that you should do with all tires on a performance car. The great news is they bite good as I'm not affraid to put my foot in it when they are heated up.....

Looks nice.

The BB's are also very predictable and give lots of warning when approaching the limit.

I like the look of the BBs and will probably get a set.

Not to hijack the tread, but…let me make sure I understand the rock throwing issue…

Do the rocks hit the underside of the wheel wells and that underneath impact leads to exterior paint damage?

Or are the rocks coming up and hitting the exterior of the car and chipping the paint?

If it is an underneath issue, didn’t Superformance eventually strengthen the wheel well undercoating to mitigate that issue?
