Question BBS Replica Wheels
Does anyone know where to find BBS Replica wheels at? I'm looking for BBS LM or BBS RS-GT knock offs.

Some 996 guys referred me to Wheel Dynamics. I'm on their site right now looking at what they have. No BBS knock-offs though.

I really want a set of BBS LM reps for my car.

"those rims" is pretty vague. Some of the aftermarket replicas are heavier, but I haven't had any other issues with them.

Some of the OEM wheels are made in Italy. IIRC the 997 Carrera II wheels are made there.

Man, I guess if I'm going to go 18" for less than $2,000, I have to get the 18" 996 Carrera III.

Give up that easily? The replica LM wheels pop up on ebay from time to time for around $1,000

Rial Daytona's look a bunch like the LM, but were discontinued. Maybe you can find some used.....
