Seems to be standard for the industry. I have been waiting on e88s for over a year now.

Did you check availability with Supreme Power in Fullerton? They got me my BBS LM's in 2 days

Yeah. I did. Supreme Power has/had the only set of e88s in the country in NB fitment. They want a VERY pretty penny for them, and you're firstborn....... more than 50% above other vendors. I want them but not at over $9k (and that was around the holidays).

Here is where I saw them:

Those rotiforms are 18'' but the petals have been proportioned for a 17'' face to clear the hardware bolts on the outer barrels.
But yes I agree, that they do work with a smaller face.
I think the sweet spot for a 993 could be 17'' barrels with 16'' face

I have these on my 95 and they have performed well for the past 3 years. I think they are a little heavier than my OEM twists but I love the look. I don't track my car. I will try to find the info where I purchased if interested.

They look great- thanks for sharing.
I’m going to go with the Fuchsledge wheels, I know they’re a little pricey and will probably take 6 weeks to get but I’ve always loved the look. Had them on a 73 911S Targa some years ago.

I agree with others that the deeper dish that can be had with the wide-body looks best - and this car has that - but even the fronts look great.
