Man, what nasty stinkin' wheels. They will completely awful on your car.
I think you should sell them for me for pennies on the dollar...for that matter your car looks terrible too...
Seriously, they are beautiful.

i'm with the minority here but they're not doing it for me.
i would sell (return?) them before you bother buying rubber and getting them mounted only to decide you don't want them.
gut reaction is usually the right one...if you don't like them now you'll have to convince yourself you do later.
as others have said, there are a few other types of BBS, not to mention others, that look better on these cars.

I had that wheel on my '01 Silver B5 S4. That is a very nice set of wheels. They are relatively light but not so great with pot holes. Ask me how I know.

Beautiful car 911ist! Run both sets of wheels. You can use the exisiting ones for winter and the run the BBS in the spring/summer.
Let me know if you ever want to sell your car

Well they certainly aren't ugly, but to be frank they are not the most complimentary looking wheels for the 993 shape. If I bot a car that already had them I would keep them, but I would not go out and buy them as they would not be my first choice of wheels. My general preference is for 5-spoke style wheels but if you are keen on mesh style wheels, IMHO the Cargraphic, Champions and some of the other BBS models are a better match for 993s....just my opinion...

+1 I personally happen to like them but if your gut reaction was negative (we're only looking at the pictures while you're seeing the true colors together) I would follow the advice above.

Those wheels would look great on an Audi.
IMHO The best wheels on a 993 are Ruf 5 spoke, Fikse FM 10 (only), BBS RS GT's or LMs (as Mark said) and factory technology twists. Your grey 993 is gorgeous and if it were mine, I would not diminish the effect by putting a matching gunmetal grey wheel on it.

Here's a pic of a 993 with BBS RE's. The photoshop gurus can help you with the colors to give you an idea of how they would look on your car.
I think they look pretty good, but I would prefer the LM's over these.

I love the wheels. But like some others have said, for the kind of money you paid, you want to be absolutely happy with the purchase. You can always buy them later if you change your mind, whereas it's impossible to return them after mounting tires and installing the wheels.
