Default Panamera 18" BBS Wheels

Not associated, but trolling ebay for deals this afternoon - this appears to be a very good deal for a nice set of the Panamera BBS wheels that fit the 928 perfectly...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/18-Factory-P...501b77&vxp=mtr

Somebody should grab them.

Those wheels will work well but be aware that the tires won't fit. You'll need lower ratio tires.

That is a good "buy it now" deal but as Glen says you will have to bin [or flog] the rubber- no bad thing if you do not know the provenence of the rubber- and good looking OEM[?] wheels to boot.

The front will take a 235x40 or 245x40[?] section and the rear a 265x35 very nicely.

The five spoke Panamera wheels also work on the 928 and look good to boot (see my avatar)

I am running 18" Turbo Twists front ET50 and rear ET58, tires are front 235/40 and rear 285/35 no issues on either end with rubbing. I know there are some differences in tires, these are Bridgestone S-04 Pole Position.

I also got the 10-spoke Panameras with 235/40 and 265/35. Additionally i have 15 mm bolt-on spacers at the back. Rear fenders not rolled and have the original about 7 mm angle inward. Tight fit, about 5 mm clearance, but no rubbing whatsoever. Tires i believe are not the widest 265/35 there is....Conti DWS...

I have the 10 spoke with 245/35/18's in the front and 265/40/18's in the rear.

I only get some rubbing on the fronts if I run over a large dip, huge bump, or corner really hard like on last year's fun run at Shartoberfest.

But no real issues so far and they are still comfortable for 500+ mile journeys. Now if only the door seal would stop whistling...

Got my 5 spokes (w/o center caps or tires) from the same guys for $495 about 2 years ago.

No hassle transaction, but it came to $634 with shipping & CA sales tax.

And Glen is right about the tires, my 10 spokes (from a different seller) came with Conti tires - thought I'd stick them on the 928 just to get them home. With the Pano tires mounted, the fronts wouldn't even fit in the wheel well!

Panameras run 350+ with 6 piston calipers up front with these from the factory. I don't see why 330 would be an issue.

I put a set of these on my car. Had them powder coated Black. Very happy with them. Completely changed the look of my car.

Yes, thanks for those pics. That's the look I'm going for with them on an all black car. I am going to red powder coat a full front and rear set of newer Lexus brakes that I'm adapting to an "S" suspension. Your car looks great.
