Default Help? Please ID this wheel?

Hello Everyone,…

Can anyone here help identify which wheel this is?

All I know is this car is a 1997 993 GT2 EVO.

Many Thanks!

Enri

Looks like BBS magnesium wheels made in Japan like the ones Ferrari in F1 uses or use to.

Definitely Mg BBS's - you can tell from the center lock nut/cap. Rare wheels!

Indeed BBS's E88 are basically the only competitive wheel option now day's, the problem is the long wait up to 14 months ordering and receiving specific centres due to the company financial problems, also heard many centres are outsourced in the EU.
