BBS LM-R's one of my favorite wheels if they only made them in '20s.
Too bad they were only 19"s and don't have set up for 991s. Only can do FIR or CHR....

HRE are designer wheels. BBS are engineered wheels. Aesthetics are purely a matter of personal preference. There is a reason why Porsche OE magnesium wheels are BBS as are and have been the majority of their race wheels. For me, easy and only choice, BBS. Of course, for some, the "look" might outweigh engineering. In any event, for the lightest, BBS magnesium. P.S. No affiliation with either manufacturer.

The two look very similar. I love both personally. I think the R101 Lightweight has a classier look without the holes on each spoke and the FI-R looks more aggressive for the RS types. The R101 Lightweight was based off their P101 which came a few years before the FI-R's so you can tell BBS took inspiration from that wheel and added their own twist on it.

The original FI never had the holes.

Excellent. The only thing that I would change (regardless of it was BBS, HRE or another wheel manufacturer) would be to use the Porsche Crest on the center screw/cap rather than the wheel manufacturer's logo.

I have HRE's on my Porsche and BBS on my BMW. And I've had several sets of each on various vehicles over the years. Both are excellent wheels. I find the HRE to be a notch above BBS in quality and runout, they are as true and balanced as a wheel can be. They are also more expensive. You pays your money, you takes your choice - you can't go wrong either way.

Same as yours, just a more aggressive offset fitment. I didn't want to run spacers and if I was gonna just do something flush, I would have gone with the FI-Rs.
