I recently found a set of bbs lm's in 17" on craigslit. However, the offsets are pretty low 17mm and 25mm (17x7.5, 17x9).. I was wondering if the bbs's in this picture are 18's with a high offset? Do they even make 17" bbs lm's with a high offset + 5x130?

AFAIK BBS do not make an LM version in 17" with the 50mm+ offset with 130mm PCD. Those in the picture are 18". The correct models for fitment to the 964 are LM099 (F) and LM144 (R).

ugh I want LM's but 18's will prob ride like crap and 17"'s are too low of an offset.

BBS used to make the LM's in 17" for our cars.
You will need to find a used set.

They sound like BMW or VW offsets... There's a member selling 18" LMs on the 993 forum.

My set of Work rims are also avail.

The wheels mentioned by the OP are LM135 (17x7.5J/ET25) and LM136 (17x9J/ET17) and these are designed for use on the pre-ABS cars, i.e. those before the 964, such as the 3.2, 930 etc. They have the standard Porsche PCD (5/130) but are completely unsuitable for the 964 due to the small offset.

There is a useful summary of all LM wheels on Wikipedia (here)

alternative, you can probably buy these:

I got these on my E30 M3. they are custom made by BBS in Magnesium. However, they are not cheap.
