Default Anyone know what wheels these are?

Really love the look of these wheels on the 930. Can anyone point me in the right direction of where I can buy a set?

I believe that those or BBS "Rs" wheels. Sorry, can't help with the hunt... as I don't believe thay are made any more.

BBS RS. They only go up to 16" in diameter and I'm not sure if they'll clear the brakes on a 993. That and finding the correct offsets may be challenging.

Looks like Glen is correct. Those wheels have not been made for a long time. Try eBay.

They are indeed BBS RS. I have a friend who has a set in his posession- Gold centers, centercaps AND centercap hex wrench. All in very good condition (minor road rash) straight, clean and true. No curb marks or impact. PM me if interested. I think he wants $1800 for the set. They are for a wide body application- Turbo and turbo look.
Center caps are getting hard to find these days and the genuine BBS wrench is nearly non-existant.

BBS RS

I had a set on my SC back when I was getting the Fuchs refinished.
After I got the Fuchs back I put them on Ebay for $100,
thinking someone needs rollers as well (ugly imo).

When the bidding war broke out, I thought it was a joke!
I thought the high bidder was going to track me down and shoot me,
these funky wheels can't be worth that much!

I had a set of 17" BBS RS 301's for my GTI. I sold them for $3500. Very rare set though as they had the correct offset/bolt pattern for VW!!

Thanks guys.

They are not for a 993, but my 930 widebody cab. I think they look the dogs!

I can see that cleaning them will be a bit of a pain, but I think I can perservere.
