I know it's hard to go wrong with forged 1pc BBS wheels but I am having second thoughts in terms of style...I just received it today but already thinking about selling!?

what is RL's opinion of these BBS RE in Black Diamond (18x8.5/18x10) on my car?





My car, slate gray metallic

They are works of art. Pure and simple.

Mount 'em up.

I like 'em. I think they'd look pretty cool on your slate gray 993.

Wheels look great, but the car looks excellent!

Beautiful wheels, if the offsets are correct, so the car has the right stance they should look great!

The wheels are certainly beautiful.

But that last pic of your car - it looks perfect as is. I love the color.

I like the wheels a lot. Check out KGORMAN on the 964 Board, he has/had a grey 964 with these wheels installed. Should give you a general idea on their appearance when mounted.

Their color matches your car better than the twists. Go for it, I say!

Not the same, but, similar:

That BBS colour is a great match for your car .... i happen to like the style also, having had a similar BBS set on a 928: the only negative is more cleaning time compared to 'twist' type wheels.

I never cared for the look of those style bbs rims.

I much prefer the Ruf wheels, the MY02s, or the 996TT twists.

I'm more of a fan of the BBS LM's. RS-GT's are my second choice for BBS' street wheels for 993's.
