Yes these are old school , I had to do lots of research to find out what type of BBS these were , at first I thought they were LM's myself but after going back to service records on the car they came on I found out that these were purchase in early 2000 , here's a picture of them on the car they came in

One more thing, the RSM pictured below are "ahead" centers I believe, while Opo's wheels are "sandwiched" style (which I like that more).
Anyways, they are beautiful wheels

I just slapped on a set of Techart Championship Formulas (OZ Mito 1 Modular 3pc) in 18x8.5F ET41 w/ 225/40-18 Pirelli Pzero Rosso's and 18x11R ET60 w/ 285/30-18 Pirelli Pzero Rosso's. Ignore the missing center caps... I'm sourcing 4 matching ones so I'll run without til then, LOL.
I'm obviously a NB car and I'm on KW V1 coilovers and no rolled fenders at the moment. If I wanna go lower, I think I'd have to roll them. I love these wheels but I didn't plan to keep them on the car. I want to build a custom set of Fifteen52 2pc Forged Tarmac's... but in the spirit of cool wheel post, here's what I'm on today

I really thought I was going to end up with a set of BBS e28's or e26's, but the opportunity arose to buy a really nice set of Fikse FM10's at a very reasonable price. The offsets were very aggressive for an NB 993 and according to my extensive Rennlist sleuthing, they would not fit. Well, I met up with the seller and test fit the wheels (which were shod in 16 year old, fully treaded S0-2's!). I could see that they would rub without rolling the rear quarters/fenders, but I was fairly confident that they would have enough clearance with a good rear fender roll. I bought the wheels and slapped on a set of RE71R's in 265/35/18 rear and 235/40/18 front and they fit like a freakin' glove! I am extremely satisfied with the end result. The car is currently sitting on M030 shocks with H&R springs. Wheel specs are 18x8.5 et 51 and 18x10 et 44 according to the seller, who had these in a storage unit for years. These specs are to be confirmed by Fikse.
