Anyone selling a set of mesh wheels sized for widebody Porsches? Ideally looking at some BBS E88, E28, or even LMs if they make them in properly fitting 18x10/12's.

Updates 7/13/17

Picked up a set of BBS E88 (finally) and a set of KW V3 coilovers that are going on the car as we speak. The car will most likely need some additional camber dialed in to make the wheels work, but here are a couple of pictures from earlier:



Accidentally ordered the wrong size rears so I went ahead and ordered a new pair of lips and rebuilt the wheels at my friends shop. Here are a few pics during the test fitting stage.





While my car was at my friends shop, my other buddy decided to take a quick little photoshoot of the car and I think the pictures came out great!





Also, another quick update, but I replaced my daily driver with a newer F10 M5, so now the garage consists of two blue mistresses



Hoping everyone is having an amazing day!

November 2020 update on the car:

The car spent the last 9 months having everything sorted and I had the motor rebuilt along with a few engine upgrades. We went with a machined/polished crank, RS cams, modified heads, and some other minor upgrades and updates. We also went ahead and rebuilt the G50 with an RS clutch/flywheel combo and completely rebuilt the factory Porsche LSD. Had the suspension sorted out by installing Tarrett adjustable droplinks and installing an adjustable rear sway bar and the M030 front sway bar, and then topped it all off with a new tune. She's purring like a kitten now and running as smooth as ever. After picking the car up, I drove it directly over to Darin at FD Motorsports for the Short-Shift-Kit and Goldenrod combo, paired with one of Darin's custom wooden 917-inspired shift ***** and now the shifts are feeling more precise than ever (cannot emphasize how much of a difference this modification makes in the pure driving feel of the car, especially with a fresh transmission). I also got around to finally installing the Flat6Illumination headlights that have been sitting in my garage for a few months along with a new Prototipo and floor mats. I am still working on a few minor upgrades to the interior but I can happily say the motor and drivetrain have me falling in love with my 993 all over again.

Here are just a few process pics along with how she's sitting now

















Happy motoring everyone!

Love this project!
Did you do a regear while you had the tranny open?

Does the 18X10 18X12 combo fit a regular widebody? or does that require the GT2 flares?

We ended up sticking with the factory gearing

I don't believe you will be able to fit an 18x10 up front without the flares

Congrats on the upgrades & being able to enjoy your 993 again. One of the nicest RSR builds.

Awesome job! What's the offsets on those wheels?

honestly, I can’t seem to remember, nor am I able to find the initial invoice from Carnewal from a few years back. I know the wheels are 18x9 up front and 18x12 out back, but the offsets seem to have escaped my notes

Very cool - love how the car looks. Color is great also.

After many years of no changes on my 993, I'm looking to start moving in the RS or RS Clubsport (NB) direction this spring, first with a body kit, mufflers and tips. Please let me know if you have recos on the sources. I'll have to do some text searches, but I assume Gert at Carnewal is still the preferred body kit source around here (it's been a while since I've been active here). Might consider a OEM body kit, but not sure about the ROI on that. Also not sure about the muffler source yet either.

I know I am a few months late on this answer, but I just ordered a set of E88's for a RSR project I am working on - 9.5x18ET61 fronts, 11x18ET66.5 rear.

A few quick updates, the car has been humming along nicely. I ended up tearing my Achilles in December of last year so I didn't get to drive it as much as I would have liked once I got the car back from having the motor built and transmission rebuilt. I also had a bit of an excursion when my right-rear tire decided to blow a hole in the sidewall as I was on the freeway, which was pretty scary... Imagine the rear of the car unsettling at 75mph and then seeing plumes of smoke in the rear view mirror I had the tires replaced and stepped down a size so I could achieve the height I initially wanted and had the car re-aligned at my friends shop. Some further updates were that I purchased a set of leather RS door panels, black RS carpets with rear seat delete, and another DAS roll cage that I had paint-matched to the exterior. Carpets and door panels will be going in within the next few months hopefully, but I'm super happy with the way the DAS cage came together. I also picked up a relatively rare Heigo 4-point cage a few months back that I'm putting in storage for now. As a side note, I have a bright red Autopower 6-point roll cage sitting in the garage collecting dust if anyone local in the Bay Area is interested in it.

Here are some random pics I've taken in the past few months when I've had a chance to drive around a bit, including a few gratuitous iPhone pictures of when the tire exploded on the freeway
















and if any of you are on instagram, feel free to add me @some.gentleman

What are your new rear and inner barrel specs?
