I think he is talking about a wheel in the background of a couple of the photos sitting on a display rack. My guess is they are for a Porcshe or BMW but they could be for anything. Evosport has a big wheels display in their lobby.

None fast enough!
That is a BBS Motorsport wheel. They can be ordered for any Mercedes (that one is for a wide body M3 BMW).
They are the same wheels that many professional race teams use (except we use forged alum centers for the street and the race cars get mag).
Thanks
Brad

Great! Thank you guys! Jrcart was correct! I was indeed referring to the wheel in the background. I'll give you a call one of these days to go over the specifics/measurements for those on the Black Series. Thanks.

JamE55 is right. I too have read Jeremy Clarkson's (tall guy from Top Gear) article from London's Sunday Times and Jeremy did indeed wrote (I am quoting Jeremy Clarkson) “of which only 300 were built”. On the same article, Jeremy closed by saying how he ended up putting his money where his pen was...and he bought one.

Braille Carbon Fiber Batteries:
B106C - 6.6 Pounds
B14115C - 11.5 Pounds
B2015C - 15 Pounds
B3121C - 21 Pounds
As you can see the only one that comes near to your 11 pounds is the model B14115C, which under their "applications" section, it says that this battery can only accomodate 4 and 6 cylinder car engines. The only one that can accomodate 8 cylinder car engines is the B3121C, which weighs 21 pounds. Is there a way you can look up the exact model you got? Also, the second question I've had is whether this Carbon Fiber battery is good for normal street applications or whether you use it only for track days. Kind regards, and I love the work you've done to your Black Series!!!!

...in continuation to my previous question regarding the exact model of the Braille Carbon Fiber battery, how much does the OEM battery weight? Have you had the chance to weight the original battery that was in your Black Series? Any substantial savings in weight? How many pounds?
