Default FS: Pristine BBS RS II wheels (narrow body 993)

For sale, my concours BBS RS-II wheels. These are absolutely beautiful wheels and are in mint condition. These were my concours wheels and never saw any track time (or rain for that matter). The wheels came off of my 1995 993 when I purchased her last December with 25,000 miles. Now that the car is a dedicated track beast, I have no need for such beautiful and pristine wheels.

As featured on the cover of Panorama this past January (Harvey Yancey’s car), these are period-correct BBS wheels that are arguably the best looking wheels ever made for a Porsche 993.


These wheels will fit a narrow body 993 (mine was significantly lowered and I had no fitment issues). Fronts 18x8 ET45, Rears 18x10 ET 64. These are three-piece wheels. Included are custom centercaps with Porsche crests. These wheels use removable keyed valve stems (2 are included, as well as a valve key removal tool). Personally, I would not use the centercaps as the open centers give the car a more aggressive racing appearance (as in the picture above)

As you can see from the photos, these are probably the cleanest RS-IIs on the planet (as they are no longer made). However, BBS still provides parts if down the road a rebuild is needed. There are a few very small depressions in the chrome rim protectors.

The tires are Bridgestone SO2s (225/40/18, 265/35/18) The fronts are shot. The rears have about 4/32” remaining tread.

Rules of the sale:
1. First PM with a commitment to buy (not first with questions) has dibs.
2. Paypal funds must be received within 24 hours, or I move on the next in line
3. I don't have the time or interest to package and ship the wheels. You can either pick the wheels up at my house (outside of Philadelphia) or pay actual UPS shipping (est $240 to the West Coast) and packaging fees (est $60).
4. I will ship to CONUS addresses only.
4. Asking price: $1,700

I just bought some MY02s or these would be mine! Do you happen to know the weights of these, for curiosity's sake?

I really don't have any idea about the weights, but they are definitely a bit heavier than my BBS RS-GTs.

Great wheels and great price! I am surprised they're still available. I'd be all over them but have 2 sets of wheels already. Out of curiosity, I know they have no lip, but are the rears concave? I always liked these wheels because of that effect.

The spokes are essentially flat, but the rim protectors stick out a bit and give the wheels somewhat of a concave appearance.

RS-GTs are pretty light, so if these are a little heavier, they are still pretty light.
