Default Wheels: Tramont Cup 2 or BBS LM?

Winter is upon us (sorta living in the South) and I have decided to do a few mods to my stock 993 Turbo. I have Fister exhaust and Bilstein coils on order, along with likely pulling the trigger on Turbo S front splitter, air ducts, and clear turn signal indicator lenses. I am also thinking about getting either Tramont Cup 2 or BBS LM wheels. Any input on what you folks think will look better on my Midnight Blue 993 Turbo? Also, will these mods negatively impact the resale value or not have much of an impact? I will be keeping all of the stock parts. Thanks in advance.

BBS E88 with gold centers would be a killer combo playing off the dark blue contrast.

You are going to get the E88s are really for track etc but these wheels are 3pc rebuildable at a reasonable cost. I have had mine for 5 years on the street with no issues.

BBS E88 18x8.5 = 20lbs : 9.1Kg
BBS E88 18x11 = 21.5lbs : 9.8Kg

BBS LM 18x8.5 = 21.6lbs or 9.8Kg
BBS LM 18x11 = 26.9lbs or 12.2Kg

I will definitely look into those. Do you happen to have any pics you can share?

Not a 3TT but 6TT and 7TT in midnight blue with gold centers.

I would browse classifieds and wait for a used set. New retailing at $6-7K but can be had under $4K used.

If you don’t want to wait for a used set, Gert at Carnewal is probably the most competitively priced around direct from Europe.
