Thanks Neven, my plan is to do exactly that. Thinking about it just now - I think it's BBS or stock for me. There is just something about the BBS wheels that feel perfect.

These are beautiful though

My favourite OE wheels. By far.

I think they are great but look like they belong to a Carrera, rather than a turbo

Just got my BBS LM-Rs back, had them refinished with the centres in Porsche Aurum Gold, with SRR hardware gold Titanium bolts and valves.

Really happy how they’ve come out

They look fantastic and I'm having my usual little meltdown that so many people seem to be able to source BBS wheels and I can't!

Mate these are Jap import and as rare as hens teeth, saying that £7k and they are yours hahaha

Do you mind me asking how you got them and how much they were?! I understand that they are worth more now, don't worry, I'm not going to assume you of trying to rip me off! I saw some (not exactly like this) sold on here recently for £6kish.

The thing is, I don't mind waiting if I can get my name down on some kind of waiting list or something.

I have been in contact with BBS directly and they were responsive enough to say they had none in stock, but when I suggested I make a deposit so that I can get some next time they are in stock they went quiet on me.

Is it a bit like Rolex? They want to keep them scarce and worry people are buying to flip them or something?

I was so naive with watches, I just walked in expecting to be able to buy one! I didn't even know people were buying them to flip. The the ones I asked for were apparently the hardest to get so they were probably rolling their eyes.

I think it's transformed the car , I love the gold

It's got a le mans theme.

Yup, they're wicked

Funny how certain wheels just suit your eye. I am a fan of split-spoke wheels, that don't have "too much wheel", if you know what I mean. It's why, while I like my Sport Designs, they're not my favourite.

However, when I look for split spoke wheels, there are other things that I can't put my finger one... and I'll see some wheels that I like and some others that aren't really much different that I don't. Some just have a certain je ne sais quoi.
