Very nice, I agree with carrera X about the wheel size, but of course is your car and you can put what ever wheel size you want, I ran 19's on my 98c2s with the exact set up you have and it felt heavy, so I went back to 18's , here's a picture of 2 of my cars with 18" BBS , your car looks great and I love Vesuvius ...

I was actually joking. I like 19's on 993's.

I'm looking at going with 18' BBS LMs in the near future for my C2S. LMs have a 10 spoke configuration and LM-R 7 spoke, so what are the 8 spoke version? Am I going crazy after spending hours on Tirerack trying to sort this out?

Great looking cars anyway you look at it!

Looks great.

I'm looking for a set of LMs in 19s!

Not mine anymore, but it had a set of LM's (hope the new owner doesn't mind if it's still floating around here)

I've always loved the look of the LM-Rs since the first time I've seen them on an e92 M3 a few years back. They look great on the 993 as well.

Yeah, I know. ;-) I see from the image that it's a white C4S with 19 inch....Works, or what is it?

I decided to sacrifize weight a little, for looks. BBS LM-R's only come in 19" and upwards, so..... At first, I had regular LM's ordered from Vividracing, but when they ran out of stock (and right now I'm really happy they did) I had a rethink and realised that LM-R's softer, more rounded spokes suit the curvy 993 design a whole lot better. There isn't a straight line on the entire body, so throwing LM's onto that doesn't really fly, IMHO. Of course, I've seen several cars that look super with regular LM's, but to me this is even better. Can't say the car feels heavy, but then again I previously had RH 3.6's fitted. :-s
