Wheels in general have gone way up. I bought 19 OZ HLT’s spring 2021 for 585.00/per, now the rack has them for almost 800.00. E88’s I’m sure are 6k

@sectachrome

Here is a photo of my cayman with e88, I actually picked them up from the classifieds here right when I bought my car....I want to redo my centers in silver this winter

18" x 9" 50mm offset, 245/40/18 RE-71R
18" x 10" 38mm offset, 275/35/18 RE-71R

I think I am going to go with the traditional BBS Motorsports silver, which is certainly not glossy, maybe get a set of center caps with red BBS center caps

it’s not glossy… I’ve had them and reminds me a little like my OZ’s. Red caps look cool

Thanks! I ended up ordering some in gold a few months back.
From what I could gather, this is the fitment (or very similar) that the Interseries cars used:
F 8.5 +43.5
R 10.0 +38

So same as yours but a little narrower in the front. I didn't really want to go bigger in width or tire than factory, as these would be used on the street and the factory setup already has abundant grip for the base power level. Will post back some time next year when I get them...

I thought the regular BBS caps didn't fit the motorsports wheels, I got an adapter from Butzi but didn't end up using it. Red would be cool without an adapter

Yours look like they fit the same as mine, so that sounds like the offsets on mine. I'm using 235/265 staggered sizes.

Ok, I haven't thought about them in years, give me an excuse to see what goodies I've collected up over time. My wife badly wants me to decide what to do with a box of old Lotus Elise parts and such, but I keep telling her I may get one again.

Here they are, too blingy for me. Maybe if they were black? I'm going to leave them on for a few days to see if they grow on me, I'll PM you if they don't unless they don't do anything for you either.

I'm interested, but if you decide you want to keep them I totally understand
