That polishing sure makes them pop. I can't wait to see them installed.

Well done! This mod is popular with the Euro/VW crowd and it looks great. I can't wait to see pics of them on your 993 WB.

I have a spare set of used LMs in so-so condition (18x8.5" ET56 & 18x11" ET56) that I was going to sell but maybe I will refub them and RM the centers on the front wheels. Or maybe I won't get around to it

G'day,

The new (old) car is coming along well and I expect to be behind the wheel ten days from now.

Nurburger, how did the LM reverse project turn out? Did you ever measure/calculate the ET change? IIRC, is it ~16mm.

Just curious, does anyone have an idea if reverse mounting centers would also work with BBS LM-Rs? I prefer the look and wouldn't mind having a slightly more aggressive offset.

Bump..... love LMs. How safe is it to do reverse mounting on high performance cars.

I did this on my C2S and havent had any issues. As long as you use lock-tite and the proper torque you'll be fine.
