Just checking in to see how the girl is being treated. It's fun to watch from afar.

All the best,

I looked at the RE's but decided on the RS-GT's after the LM were on indefinite backorder. I think you need to make sure that you really love them, as they are an integral part of a car's appearence, IMHO. And remember, it is YOUR car, so YOU need to love them

(Now I understand why women need so many shoes

Not sure if they're new. I seem to recall seeing the design on race cars a few years back, but it may have been another model.

My opinion...they are terrible looking....alot of replies like them because they are BBS..if the center cap said Rota, Axxis, Konig etc...I bet there would be more thumbs down.

Yasin

I like the way they look and that's why I bought it but just having second thoughts. I know style is subjective so I won't go there. I can't speak for others but personally, I bought the wheel not solely based on brand. The wheels are forged, made in japan which equates to light/strong and quality to me plus the fact that its from BBS, you can't go wrong. Anyway, lets end this subject here before it gets carried away..."internet forum" style...

I wish the RE-R is available for the P

I'm not sold. As nice as those wheels are, the cut of the center just doesn't do it for me.

By the way, yours is the only opinion that matters...

Hey 911ist ~ where's the "second thought" reservation coming from? Granted I've only read 1 of 4 post pages. Is "it" the color on color? Would you prefer the Seal Grey metallic to contrast in a minor way with say a silver BBS wheel? Or is it the wheels fractional spoke architecture? What gives?

Seal Grey metallic is F,,,king B-E-A-U-T-F-U-L. My daily driver of 10 years was a MY87 944 in Stone Grey Metallic (LY7U) which is similiar. I'm just saying...
