you should post some bigger pictures. i just received mine today from the same seller, they look great but i thought they were on the heavy side. each box came with 1 front and 1 rear and it weighted 60lbs
18x8.5 and 18x10. so without the bx i would assume about 55lbs for the 2.
do you guys think thats 2 heavy. iam installing them on my 964 cab.
thanks in advance

Vince, I believe that your wheels are different.

I can't find any information on either Highline wheels or Speedline 200. I like the look, but I'm curious what they are.

Those are quite heavy, but look great. Wish they were lighter, I'd have a set on order right now!

Hey Nile... yea my wheels are different but have the same design... I bought the BBS RS II's cause i love the style... BBS is synonymous with Porsche......and I like the center cap that hides the lugnuts.....

Default These are the wheels

I did not get them through the web, but rather bid for them on ebay, a local guy has them so I knew what I was buying....not the best wheels...yes one front and one back weigh approx 60 pounds...these are not long term wheels but I like the look very much and winning the bid at $660 I could not turn them down....they will see me through a couple of years...then I can buy BBS or something similar, but at the moment could not justify $3000 or more on wheels when I am doing so much else.....maxflows have arrived so I hope to get those on this w/e!!! Then the split tail, which has also arrived!!!
