Default Wanted: Pictures of BBS (RS-GT) Wheels on 951 or S2

I'm thinking of selling my hollow spoke 18" Technology wheels and getting a set of BBS RS-GT wheels, possibly in the Titanium Diamond Black finish for my red S2. Would be interested in seeing wheels of this type on our cars.

Thanks!

I've seen that viewer, but it doesn't really give you a good idea of how they really look. The best picture I have of the RS-GT is on a 911 RSA and they look very nice on that car.

Tom, I am considering these wheels as well. I couldn't find any decent pics either so I photo-chopped them onto my car.

I'll see if I can't find the pics.



You may also wanna consider the sport clasics. They are a similar looking wheel IMO.





Now you just need to put them on your car. Actually the ones I chopped onto my car are BBS knock-offs I found on a BMW, they are a 1 piece wheel. Unfortunately they do not make them in the correct offset for our cars.

There is a guy on vwvortex that has 2 sets for sale right now.

I think the Sport Classics are a heavy wheel. I'm looking for something light, like my hollow spoke Technology wheels. The BBS RS-GT are very similar in weight.

The RS-GT's are definitely the lighter of the 3 styles, I thought the sport classics were going to be heavier for sure but I was wrong, the 18x10 is 7lbs heavier, quite a bit but the rest a +/- 2lbs isn't that bad.

Sport Classic (BBS)
17x 7 J - 55 - 993.362.124.51 - 8.8 kg 19.4lbs
17 x 9 J - 55 - 993.362.128.51 - 9.6 kg 21.2lbs

Sport Classic II (BBS)
18 x 7.5 J et 50 - 993.362.134.55 - 9.9 kg 21.8lbs
18 x 8 J et 52 - 993 362 136 50 - 10.85 kg 23.9lbs
18 x 9 J et 52 - 993.362.138.50 - 10.8 kg 23.9lbs
18 x 10 J et 65 - 993.362.138.50 - 13.2 kg 29.1lbs

BBS RS-GT

RS928H - DSPK 18 x 10 65 22.10 lbs
RS925 - DBPK 18 x 8 50 20.6 lbs
RS927 - DBPK 18 x 8.5 56 21.0 lbs
