Purchased the wheels from CincyScott last spring. The wheels came off of his 996TT. Bolted right up to my WB car. Finally got them mounted on my car and love the look!
Quick question I am hoping someone will help with. I have a set of BBS LM's and ran these on my 993 Turbo.
I am needing to have the rims re polished due to some corrosion and assume this is the best route rather than powder coating the rims silver? Does anyone run with the rims and faces powder coated or is polishing always the preferred finish?
Thanks. I assumed polished would be better and had forgotten about reversing them.
I have a 993RS they can go on or potentially onto 930, just now sure they will fit the 930. Might be overkill. The 930 is on 16" not sure how the 18" would look?
I posted in the wheel thread a few weeks back, but since this is a BBS LM specific thread I will mention it again.
In April of 2016 I placed an order for BBS LMs. At the time it was quoted that it would take 3-4 months which was fine by me. But it ended up taking 8 months before I took final delivery. I am not sure what happened (were my wheels hijacked by Somali pirates? LOL) and I likely never will know what took so long. But my 993 C2 now sports BBS LMs and here a picture that was taken a few weeks ago from the garage here at work.

I think they are just very limited production now. I bought a set with WB offsets in February and was told they were the last ones in the USA for a while.
Back to the 993 + LM appreciation... a photo I took last weekend:
Hmmm, I love LM's like everyone else however these look weird to me. Might be the picture but the offsets don't look right, especially in the rear!
No it's not the picture. My LMs don't have nearly as much of an offset than many of the others shown in this thread and I will admit that the wheels with larger offsets than mine look better and I would assume that this is because my 993 is not a WB? Looking back at this thread, I'd say my offsets are the same as what this car has.

I think that the offsets are fine, but the car would look much, much better if you lower the car from the stock ride height.
