Default anyone know these wheels or company?

I was looking for a set of 4 silver 16x7 bbs rs wheels.
I want to run 4 stock sized matching tires on my 1985 US.

Is anyone familiar with these wheels or this company.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/16-Calibre-V...item232d1f573f

They quoted me 675 pounds for a set of 16x7 wheels, with 5x113 bolt pattern, and 65mm backspace, with US delivery.

I am not a big fan of the center cap, but they say the BBS cap is interchangeable, and caps with a Porsche crest are sometimes available on ebay.

any input appreciated.

this is the size and style I am looking for, just want to know if anyone has delt with this product or company.

never heard of them,
but the BBS wheels come up every so often,
pay attention to the for sale section,

meanwhile Carrera III for sale bolt ons for your 928

The site says a four bolt pattern. Could that be a mistake on the site?

Not my cup of tea at all (seems a bit too 80's to me) - but thats your style choice of course...

However one thought - these will be extermely time consuming and frustrating to keep clean.. think it through... you might end up regretting it for that reason...

Also if I was paying out for new wheels I think I'd be moving up in diameter just to have more tire options... not necessarily wider.

Very good point, time cleaning them will suck. Had them; BBS) on my BMW 2002tii in the early '90s.

I emailed them about the correct size wheels
Does anyone know the off set for standard 16x 7 manhole covers?

the BBS wheels on my Evo are a nightmare to clean, and they're not nearly as busy as those wheels!

i've always been a 5-spoke kinda guy.

You need 5x130 for your 928.

+1. I have no idea what is 5x113. Audi is 5x112 and Nissan is 5x114.5.

Speaking of BBS. They are making all new Super RS in classic style but in 18" and 19" sizes. So far they haven't made 5x130 Porsche bolt pattern versions but it has to be just matter of time. If they make ET's which work in modern Porsches there is some hope they will make sets which will work in 928. BBS site isn't up to date yet.
