Default 20" BBS LM - has anyone done them on their 991?

Interested to see some pictures.. I just did CH-R's and am going down a rabbit hole of LM's in 20 or e88 in 19. Thanks!

BBS LM would look so good on a 991

From what I've seen the 991 wheel style is more on the "showy" side of things vs a 996 or 997. The "tuner" looking wheels look great on previous generation 911's, nobody seems to go this route on the 991.

You're right - and I like the motorsport/race look.. especially love BBS's. Really happy with the CH-R's actually, but the 3 piece BBS just kick things up a notch.

Be careful with three piece wheels. They suck in the rain.

When it rains, water gets "stuck" behind the inner lip of the wheel barrel. This throws off the balance of the wheel and causes the steering wheel to shake. Newer three piece wheels have "drains" in them but they're useless in a heavy downpour.

LM is 2piece.
E88 is 3piece

Neither of these wheels he is considering have the reverse lip hump so they cant hold water in a heavy downpour like some of the other wheels on the market.....

These are not going to creat that issue.

Just an FYI LM’s are extremely heavy and the weight is noticeable.

I don't think BBS made LM's for the 991, unless you can fit 19's on there.
