I've seen a lot of BBS content lately, and these wheel styles are typically described as Y-spoke. Personally, I always see them as U, not Y. I can get my brain to see Y, but it always defaults to U.

Do you see Y (blue) or U (red)?

I see Y, but everyone is copying this design, even my winter wheels look similar.

Yeah it's pretty ubiquitous now, but not a bad thing I guess. It's a classic design that looks great on nearly any car.

Man you’re not kidding. It’s like every month there’s a new company offering a forged version of this style.

I’m assuming it’s just like all the carbon fiber parts for our cars, made from the same Chinese factory and drop shipped to the buyer.

My lady sees antlers!

Really, that’s what she said!

Edit… I was showing her pictures of BC Forged KL01’s I’m about to order.
