Default WARNING- BBS LM ****... Jim Dorociak is THE MAN!

As many of us agree the BBS LM is one the best looking wheels on the 964. I am a wheel ***** and as such my garage is already full of wheels for my 964's including Cup 1's (in several fitments and colors), BBS RS-GT's, Fikse FM10's, Rotiform ROC, etc.

A few months ago I stumbled across a set of 18" BBS LM's in 964 fitments that were slightly tired. I sent this set to Jim for a little of his magic... Here is what they looked like:










I just got an email from Jim tonight and here is what my wheels look like now:

















I feel like an 8-year old kid waiting for Christmas morning since Jim is shipping them out tomorrow. Cant Wait!!

Thanks Jim, your THE MAN!

Jim is an outstanding person and does incredible work, a real magician with wheels. Not cheap by any means but well worth the price. Beautiful set Nathan.

Look awesome, actually looks just like the finish I have on mine, although I assumed mine was the original color. You mounted the face on the back on all four wheels? I only have the rears that way, would be too much poke for my liking if the fronts were that way.

Those look great! My speedlines should be arriving at Jim's today. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Gotta love LMs in a high polish shine Dont forget the pics when fitted!

Are the fronts 18x8?

Where did you get the red caps, been after some for mine.

The Porsche is etched... Its the small details that set things apart!

I won't attempt to speak for Jim, just giving him props! I will say that what he charges is so fair I almost felt bad. He has spent more time sweating the small details to make them exactly what I wanted then many vendors I have used charging 3x as much. An amazing deal, highly reccommended!

Jim sourced the BBS Caps, so he can help there as well.

Actually your eyes are deceiving you... Look closely at Jim's handiwork, the rears are reverse mounted, the fronts are standard mount but he finished them in such a way that it doesn't draw your eye! Incredible!

On the fronts, reverse mounting is just too much and looks goofy, the rears work great with a reverse mount.

Now I have to decide which 964 to put them on: White C2 coupe, Red RSA or Blue Cab... I was thinking white coupe but I might play around with it. As soon as I mount them I will post photos.

Now that is attention to detail! I had to look very closely to spot that, even with you telling us
