Staggered BBS RSII. They looked even better with the chrome center caps but they rotted out so I opted for a set of black with gold lettering. For some reason the vendor sent me red with gold lettering.

If they are genuine BBS red caps you have a bargain! Very rare.

I was quoted £160 GBP for a set. Black ones were loads cheaper.

These are after market wheels made by an Italian company called Eta Beta -Twists.

They came from BBS of America down in Georgia. They still cost $150 shipped. The red ones are just a couple bucks more.

/\/\/\ Those are Rotiform custom BBS RS. They take the 16s and build them up to 18s /\/\/\/\

Just buy a set of RS for cheap (ish) and away you go...

I presume any BBS RS face with the Porsche PCD ould work, but I'd speak to Rotiform to confirm what would work with their 964 RS upgrade. There's an email addy on that VW Vortex thread. Failing that speak to Vegas on here, who is running a set at the mo

I was going to go this route, but had trouble sourcing flat RS centers to build into 18's. I believe Vegas is running a flat center RS porsche face. As far as lip sizes go, it would be around a 1.5" up front and 2-2.5" depending how much of an aggressive setup youre looking for. Hoping Vegas can chime in here

Wonder if Porsche BBS RS 131's would work? There's a set up for sale in the UK at the moment.



Dont know the guy tho.

I sourced an original set of Porsche fitment, BBS RS 16x7 RS012 and 16x8 RS013, they are a flat face center and Rotiform upsized them to 18x8.5 and 18x10. I'm running 215/40 and 245/35 Michelins.
