I'm thinking of buying BBS LMs or BBS Racing wheels, but not sure which to go for yet.

I think I should be going for the following sizes:

8.5x18 ET56
10x18 ET65

Either set would have gold centres, which should look good with Polar Silver.

As my car doesn't have any RS bodywork, do you think they will look good on a vanilla 993 narrow body at RS +12.5mm ride height?

Found these shots on Rennlist, which give an idea of the look:

I like the look a lot.

Super high maintenance mind you!

The thoughts of deep dish gone out the window?
 
BBS Wheels

Hi Guys,
Neil here - met at the weekend at PCGH 50th! Just joined the forum...
I agree with Dom - you'd be spending valuable driving time cleaning and maintaining the wheels....do look good though.

Come on into the newbie section car + pics is a must

Sorry Sam back to topic
 
get a mock up pic of them on a regular C2 IMO and then judge

the rs spoiilers and skirts change things quite a bit IMO
 
Non-RS spec NB:

I like it! Can I recolour this car in Polar Silver somehow?

Dom, the rear wheels have a deeper off-set and can hopefully fix the rear wheels centres on the inner rim.
 
I have to agree with Jackal, RS Spoilers and Skirts make a very big difference to the look.

Look good on a widebody though;

I've never liked these wheels. Until now. That pic on the 'epic fail' thread got me thinking. Gold centres: do it Sam :thumbs:

Having just applied Zaino all over the car this weekend and intoxicated with the fumes, I had the misfortune(?) to bump into a fellow owner who was looking to offload a set of BBS RS-GT wheels...at the price he was offering I must have looked like a deer in the headlights and I bought them on the spot.

Having always hankered after a set of these, it was too good to miss and I think they look luverly...although a friend commented they made the car look more feminine, wtf?!

OoooH TJ


The money shot ,Very nice
 
These posts aren't doing anything to help my bank balance!

James and TJ you cars look awesome.

TJ, I sincerely hope that I run into a fellow narrow body 993 owner and they offer me a set of 18" BBS LM for less than £2k..... It's just not gonna happen though! Send me some of your good luck please?

8) (Interestingly, the script for the cool emotion has a number 8 in it!)
 
Loving all these wheels, I always loved Asim's wheels.

TJ, dear god man we dont hear from you for ages then two awesome posts. Like those wheels.

I think my favourite is those on the RS rep...as most of you know I love the coloured wheel look, myself sporting some steel grey 18 twists and a set of dual coloured 17 cups.

Would love to see a mock up of Sams NB with the gold colours.

Some Photoshop geek please do this.....now......stop downloading porn and move onto this....NOW.
