Default BBS LM wheels

Need some help from the photoshop wizzards

I was wondering how the car would look with some BBS rims on it, looking for some lighter wheels...

TIA

In the meantime, you could try tirerack.com

Good luck and sorry for not being able to photoshop you a picture

Wow Shidinger!!! You would have all by best karma wishes if you could do that exact same picture w/18" or 19" RUF wheels! I've been trying to no avail to get pics - and the Ruf wheels are not available on tirerack.com.

PLEEEAAAASE!

Not the same color but hope this helps... Prob more realistic. Not sure you'd really see those rotors and calipers as well under normal lighting.. You should have been on here last week, a guy let a set of these go for 2g's straight up.

haha I wasn't being critical at all... Its a nice photoshop... I just grabbed a pic from wheelenhancement. Not nearly as creative... I suppose I could have taken the time to monochrome the blue out but I'm lazy today and packing for a long long porschelesss trip

You should really check out the BBS RS-GT wheels. They'll save you almost 2 more lbs per corner and they're basically the same price.

Also available from Tirerack ofcourse. The design is also more open so you can show off those nice big yellow brakes.

THANKS Shidinger!!! EXACTLY what I've been trying to get a hold of!

Now for some technical stuff: I hear the RUFs are heavy? And I assume those BBS RS-GTs are light? Does anyone know the difference?

Thanks again Shidinger.

I called RUF and their wheels weigh something like 30 lbs each. I believe that they are heavier than the stock turbo twist solid spokes. But don't quote me on that. The guy at RUF prefaced his weights by saying these are not really track wheels. More for show. Tirerack can tell you the exact weight of the RS-GT's something like 20.6 front 22lbs rear.

Thank you very much! Not really sure which I prefer?

The hollow turbo twists or the BBS rims?? Is their a lot of difference in weight?

Thanks
