Nice! That is a slighty different version Ruf wheel then the one I posted... Incredible garage by the way!

these are 11x19 and 9x19 w/factory optic finish (unique to the 19's). the ones you posted may have been 18's

As long as we're showing the RUF's, here are mine.

8.5 and 10x19

Yes, they were 18's...

Alan has me thinking... wonder if it would be better to have the center of the wheels black metallic, resulting in a Fuchs type look...

I would like to convey thanks to everyone posting pictures, it is a while since we have had a good 993 wheel thread. I am again looking hard at my limited options, due to my enforced offset requirements 9x18 ET 33 and 11 X18 ET 18. I really like those K28Rs of Poorboy's and think they up date the classic GT2 look beautifully. I am currently considering Techart Daytonas as they are working out if they can make the rears to my offset requirements - but I'm not sure, they are a strong wheel, but maybe a bit heavy and I am not convinced of the look.
Please keep the photos coming

Phil,

I would choose the cargraphic with the gold center like the BBS.
The Alan's pictures give an easy comparison, and gold on black looks terrific!

Hmmmm. Phil, that may not be a bad idea. The only consideration is darkness. With the lighter wheel you have contrast as opposed to a more monotone look. One would look brighter the other more menacing. Both have their place. Who, do you want to be?

Hal, that is one outstanding picture of your beautiful car. I never get tired of looking at well photographed Porsches.

993RS

Yes, and this puts me back to square one. I really liked the color combination on the metallic black GT2 I saw and which I posted at the beginning of this thread... think I've made a complete circle now... Am going to go ahread as planned: Cargraphic with BBS gold centers.... Thanks to everybody and especially to Alan for presenting an alternate view with which to test my resolve...

Phil,
If you get the Ruff's and paint em black, you car will look real fast, even when standing still.
See.

993RS

Thanks Alan,
As you said previously, looks too menacing... IMHO... Since black metallic does at times give off a brownish/gold subtone, I find the gold centers better...

After agonizing a while on should I or shouldn't I, I have managed to find what I really wanted to begin with. BBS produces a street version of the BBS GT wheel which I posted at the beginning of this thread. Instead of a magnesium center, it has an aluminum center. It apparently can only be obtained exclusively from a tuner, Inden Design.

Inden Design

I am waiting for their offer. They can deliver the wheels with the BBS gold center, so that it is exactly like the one I originally wanted, except street-legal... The offsets allow mounting 8 to 9.5 inches in the front and 10 to 11.5 inches in the back! (fenders need to be rolled....)

I assume it's this one? Very nice wheels.

You could always just buy the smooth aluminum centred BBS wheel and simply remove the centres have them powdercoated gold. (Just remember to mask the edges and bolting surfaces so that they fit back on together.)
