I can't wait either for it to come out!

Kai's red is lovely, would be a hard choice to choose, as all colours are great on a 964.

This build really looks "factory" to me. Keep it out of the rain!
Build to be driven like a brand new car

For me i'd keep it simple and classic. I would have loved to find a set of BBS RS for mine, but couldnt find anything over 16". Rotiform in the US managed tho, and im sure you could rustle up a set with your network?:



I'd suggest LMs, but dont want the competition.!

E28 mags would look perfect too...

This car belongs to Brian Henderson, a friend of mine from California, boss of Rotiform. He has a few set of these 18" BBS RSs for sale if your interested, but not cheap. Let me know if your interested in these (he can make to your size) or any Rotiforms am sure I can rustle up a group buy for a cheaper price

Previously Brian ran a set of 17" BBS E28s which am sure you've seen on his and JayMacs gold Mk2 Golf 16v G60 at Ultimate Dubs in Telford.

At the minute am hoarding some E28s, BBS LMs, Cup1s with larger rears, BBS RSs, but I wouldn't mind a set of Speedlines so I can decide

But right now am toying with something entirely trick, German & Cup fingers crossed!

IMHO, can't go wrong with Work. Modern edge to classic designs and nice and light. Mind you I would say that, not affiliated but I ordered a set of Meisters

It was a great improvement seeing the car clean and more presentable.

Hi all,

I love the BBS RS wheels on the black 964. Looks absolutely stunning... I just have sold my 18' cargraphic wheels and that might be an option to improve the look.
Do I get it right? the wheels are custom made? If yes - the logistics might be difficult to get them to germany and the german TÜV is difficult to overcome...

I love the look..., cheers Tim

In this sense I presume the wheels are stipped down in to their 3 component pieces, wider lips are found, the centres are probably PCD changed depending on donor vehicle, the lips polished, the centres painted and the wheels re-assembled.

The best place to find rare BBS reems to be the father land, so youre in the right place! You just need to find a builder, try the VW forums

Here is some pictures of bits of trim done by Andy whom I've know for years as a personal friend & a trimmer in the VW & Porsche world. He's not new to Rennlist as Andy has been involved in many major projects here.

I have decided to go with Alcantara & leather with maritime blue stitching, which if you look at the stitching is perfect.
