Ok guys I was on my second favorite website - Ebay looking for late offset BBS wheels last night and found this site through Ebay. It is in Bornhoved Germany and most of the website is written in German but they do have the lips and they have them in Stainless steel also. They also have negative offset lips.

Oops, my bad. I have a buddy with a 911SC that is running late offset Cup wheels with spacers, got my wheel/car offset out of order there. I like the negative spacer idea though, just got to find some anti-matter...

mike no one cares what you think

your purpose is to provide us with pictures of martina and nothing else

and by "big" i meant relative to other wheel/tire combos. like the 6" alloy wheels on my brother's mazda with 195/60/15 tires weigh more than my 15x8 225/60 BBS

Default BBS RS

I got theses from a friend who thought they were awful looking mainly cause the PO used Krylon to paint them black. I have thoght about selling them and steping up to a 17 or 18 inch rim but the BBS's are very light and look so choice.

Late offset wheels on an early cars. Wheel spacers are number 43 or 44 on the list of parts needed.

I would take some better pics but I am getting tired of pushing the beast in and out of the garage by myself.
