Default BBS RS-GT Wheels on my 1990 944 S2

Attached are a few preliminary pictures of my new BBS RS-GT wheels in the Diamond Black finish. They are 8x18, ET50 and 10x18, ET65. Sorry for the bad Winter lighting. At least the sun was out, which is saying allot this time of year in Seattle The tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R. They look really meaty. Can't comment any more as I've only driven about 10 miles so far.

Will most likely be selling my 18" hollow spoke Technology wheels.

Tom, was just looking at your site this morning - I'm buying member bleucamaro's S2 down in California and was doing some reading. That looks GREAT. Where did you find those?

They are still made, but in limited supply. I purchased these new. I didn't really need new wheels but was just looking to make a change after 6 years. Yes, they were expensive... but they were a much cheaper alternative than the new car I was considering!

Tom, I think they look terrible on your car and you should immediately take them off and send them to me.

Nice wheels. Too much tire shine for me though. The wheels are already shiny enough.
