Default I hear BBS rims fit?
I have a 1983 Porsche 944 and a 944 mechanic told me that i have 3 options that bolt right on, Erly Offset phone dials and Fuch's, And also some BBS rims for 600$ish. I can't seem to find a picture of these rims. Anyone have a picture? or even better, on there 944?

Not that I know of. I called em for a center cap though and they had one.... the wheels are 16x8 on front and 16x9 on rear and are 3 piece wheels. As far as I know only 2 of us have these on this whole forum... and the other guy may only have 16x7 and 16x8. They are called RS1's

I still have a set of BBS basketweaves from my old car that are very similar, but not the 3-piece design, and the basketweave is painted black (gold anodized underneth though). They came on the '84 from the factory as an option. They were relegated to track wheels (with yoko RA1's) once I got the newer fuchs replicas. I can't believe that I don't have any pics of the car with those wheels on it.

I'll have a look at them for any size and offset markings.

The RS-12's (pictured, 3 piece) are still available through a company in the UK, they are very popular with e30 M3 guys also (of course, different bolt pattern) so there are a ton of parts kicking around for them. I used to have a black set.

You can go with anything if you are willing to use spacers. My cups are aftermarket with spacers built in:

Here are some wheels for sale that look kinda like BBS wheels (maybe they are and I just can't tell). Oh yeah, there's also a car attached to the wheels.
