LM's.. but have you checked out that new wheel BBS has? It is a one piece forged. It looks similar to the wheels on a 360 challenge, but not quite as pretty (those wheels are AWESOME). Check the BBS website; they have an ad in magazines that shows them.

I take that back. I think these are the same wheels as the 360 challenge. Man, I wish I could budget some money for some of these. I wonder if they even make them in the Porsche pattern?

Red, the last time i checked, BBS did not make the CH wheel (in BMW thread) in a Porsche fitment.

Steve, you didn't like the black Techarts ??

sheesh, these wheels are so awesome. Sorry for the bimmer picture post, but just check out this wheel! I think they would look so awesome on my MB C2. Oh well, maybe someday when they decide to make them for Porsches and I actually have the money.

There is a new version of that wheel which fits Porsche. It is called the RE and is one piece forged. It is available in 8.5" (ET56) and 10" (ET65) sizes.

"Kinesis Supercups or BBS LM's"

Thats a tough choice. On one side you have the Kinesis Supercups, they just look like a Porsche Wheel, and fit the car very well.

On the other hand, you have the BBS, that says.. lets go racing!

For a wide body car.. lets go racing!

Just my .02

Are those the only wheels you will consider? It seems based on the size and offsets, you will need to run spacers. You could get a different Kinesis wheel or HRE or Fikse or ? with the correct offset for your wide body.

Good luck.

I say factory 996 turbo wheels (hollow-spoke). I wish I was at home to post a pic of a speed yellow C2S with these wheels that I have on my harddrive.

Viken - do those BBS you posted have a satin finish like the wheels on the roadfly link above ? Those are really nice...Love that satin finish.
