I got mine very quickly as well in February via Vivid Racing, but they were drop shipped directly from BBS USA in Georgia and they told me that they were the last 8.5/11x18 ET56 set BBS had available for a while (sorry!)

I would say they are worth the wait... my Polar C4S with reverse mount LMs:

Very nice!

Did you order those reverse-mounted from the factory? Also, any rubbing in the front? I know some of the others have reverse mounted the NLA 8x18's, but I haven't seen the 8.5's done.

Thanks! BBS does not advocate reverse mounting their wheels and I am sure they would not do it for you. I had a local wheel professional that understands these wheels do it for me.

No rubbing at all, and my C4S is well below RS height. I did a lot of suspension upgrades to avoid bump steer issues going that low. PSS-10 kit with RS uprights, adjustable sways, tie rods, Elephant bushings, etc...

Do the LM's for the WB's require spacers? I run the 996TT wheels as an example I think the rear is 40Et

If you have a 993 Turbo, the BBS Application guide says

Rear: 18 x 11 et56

** Requires an ADDITIONAL COST hardware kit containing 15mm hub-centric spacers and longer lug bolts. **

If you reverse mount the centers it reduces the offset, so you will not need spacers. There are no spacers on my car pictured above.

Questions about BBS LMs:

Are all the parts and material for these wheel made either in the USA or Germany?
Are wheels two, three piece or one piece?
Can wheels be made with offsets requested by owner?
Are wheels assembled in Germany or USA?
