BBS E26, came on the car when I bought it. They are 17" and I believe 8-1/2" up front and 10" rears. Don't know offset. Rears are on 21mm spacers fronts I think are 19mm spacers. I want to rebuild them, but just put new tires on them when I got the car.

Late offset car with early offset 16" phone dials (and about -2 degrees of camber to have them sit proper)

Been looking through hundreds of wheel photos here and this is exactly the stance I'm looking for on a new 90 S2 I just purchased. What are the widths and offsets of these wheels if you don't mind sharing. Also bored of them yet and want to sell ?

They are 16X8 and 16X9. The offsets are ET 52.3 for the front and ET57 for the rears. They are magnesium and vey light. 7.6 kg front and 7.7 kg rear.
I am not bored with them but would listen to reasonable offers.
Thanks: Jim

Thanks, but it was Nurburger's post I was quoting with his Ruf Modulare wheels - pretty sure those are 18s. Need the widths & offsets on them.

The BBS RS-GTs I have on my 1990 S2 are shown in post #314. The fronts are 18x8, ET50 and the rears are 18x10, ET65. They fit perfectly and I believe they provide the stance you are looking for, but maybe not the exact style? I have a spare brand-new set of these in Diamond Silver I might consider selling (model RS925H and RS928H). I was going to put them on the 951 but decided to try a set of the new 18 inch Fuchs, which I have yet to install. I also have a set of 18x7.5, ET50 and 18x10, ET65 Porsche Technology hollow-spoke wheels that have been in boxes since 2008 when I got the BBS for the S2. I think I have too many sets of wheels

Not quite what I'm looking for but still might consider them. Post a pic of the wheels here and PM me a price. Also can you post a pic down the side of the car that shows the fitment of the outer wheel to the fender - from my research, that offset with a 10" wheel might be inset more than I want and I know I could fix it with a spacer, but would rather not.

I know what you mean about having too many sets of wheels - have a BMW x5 set and 2 Audi sets in my garage right now. Have any of those cars where you want to do a trade

Thanks for the help.

I have nothing to show off, but while we're on the subject of wheels: what works best to fill small nicks in wheels before repainting? Would Bondo Glazing & Spot Putty suffice? Or would a 2-part product be better? Eventually I'll upgrade the wheels but for now I'm just going to paint these a different color

Here's the best picture I have looking down the side. These are the Diamond Black finish. The spare wheels I have are Diamond Silver, which can be seen on BBS USA, along with wheel weight information. My car is lowered and has a reasonably stiff suspension; I've never had any tire rubbing.

Those actually look great - both the style and fitment.

I have active contenders on 3 different wheels right now, all with a slightly different look, including a reasonably priced set of 18" Gemballas where I could polish the lip and have a pretty cool look - kind of like a speedline or RH, but without the exposed bolt heads.

PM me what you're looking for on those Diamond Silver BBSs....if competitive enough, that might be the route I go. Also, where are you located. I'm in SC.

Here is my early N/A with Japan Racing JR6 17'' wheels. I know they are cheap Chinese replicas, but I really like the look! I used custom machined spacers to convert to BMW bolt pattern.
