As CurveLover mentioned, I trial fitted the new Porsche Fuchs type wheel, and with mine running euro RS height, I've had no issues (so far) with clearance. No spacers, no machining - just straight bolt on!

Your "Bluesuvius" looks even happier now. Congratulations, you'll have no regrets.


She would look good in Guards Red, though (JK )

Excellent choice ... do you mind if I ask the price of the OEM Fuchs?

Mmmm. They looked good on the red speedster - but that was because red speedsters had fuches in 1989 and it therefore looks retro. However Graham with your modern metallic fleck paint and contrasting silver highlights I personally liked the standard TT wheels you had on which I thought were more in period for this car. Just my thoughts - they are lovely however and either way the car looks good as always...

Default New BBS E88

Ok, yesterday I came back from a road trip togther with my wife. We took both cars out and had fun in the Smokey Mountains including the Dragon tail / US129 We also drove the Blue Ridge Parkway which was a lot of fun driving too. Now during our vacation the BBS E88 from Gert arrived. When I was back I got them installed immedatly. The pictures show them on a dirty car - keep in mind that we just came back from a 1.800 miles round trip ;-)

I'm not sure if I should install the center cups. Actually I like it as it is.

What do you think. Center cups or not?

^ Those wheels look great, renewed my interest in BBS.....

I like the industrial look of NO caps. I think because the caps are "fake" centerlocks makes them a little less desirable. Put them on and take a pic.....

Nice! Could someone please photoshop those FUCHs on a White C2S!
Suncoast has the entire set mounted with Mich for $5499.

I think they look awful and you should sell them to me immediately

Looks awesome, I'd rock them without the center caps.

If they are PS2s that's not a bad price...just the tires are probably worth $1500-1700, so you'd be in for the wheels for $3800-4000.

No fake centerlock caps. Either no center caps, factory or billet badge caps, BBS logo...or you could go with spinners like the Mach 5!

Hi,
Does anyone have a 993 wb with 997 Turbo wheels (18/19; oem/replica) ?
I think they would look great.
Cheers
Peter
