Default BBS Wheels

I'm thinking about a set of new BBS LM wheels for my 997; however, I have not seen any discussions about this product. As a relatively new P Car owner I would appreciate any input on this wheel. Thanks

The LM's have been around for a while and remains one of my all time favourite wheels. You can't go wrong with them. My all time favourite, which is probably 5X the money, are the E88's. A forum member has them: https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...eimagined.html

Classic, timeless wheels. One of the only wheels I would consider putting on my 997.

I have LM's on my 997S, but I lucked out and found a set in 997TT fitment, which is more aggressive. They're the perfect offsets in my opinion and compliment the car very well. I have both black and red center caps for them. I threw the red caps on recently to change it up a little bit.

I would love a set of 19" BBS E88's in gold, but I can't get myself to do it. The LM's are timeless.

BBS Monoblocks all the way. We had bbs motorpsorts build a run of these. They are based off the gt3 cup monoblock.

Weights are as follows:

19x 9.0 (19.420 lbs)

19x 9.5 (19.734 lbs)

19 x 12.0 narrow body (21.592 lbs)

19 x 12.0 wide body (22.092 lbs)

All wheels also have a knurled bead seat to prevent tire slippage.

Bought my car with the wheels in my AV. I personally like the LM's better.

BBS RE-MGs for me.

I'll take mine with flat, or concave spokes, though.

Thanks guys! It was nice to be able to go with the RS spec of 245/325. Handles great with the MPSC2s...plus MCS shocks finally go on this week, combined with a few other minor tweeks.
