Default Widebody Wheel Photo Thread

All - I have run a search and can't seem to find a dedicated thread with photos of aftermarket wheels for wide body cars. I am thinking seriously of buying a set for my 'new to me' 993tt on the way...so thought some of the guys might like to post pictures of their rides with their aftermarket wheels (and offsets) if they know them. Would also like to improve on the unsprung weight of the car if possible with this improvement - I am a believer that USW is the easiest way to improve the dynamic of our cars out of the gate....

Thanks in advance to posters.

I'm running -2 all around

First pic:
my bbs-lm are 11 x 18 et 56 +23 mm spacer = offset 33, with stock size(or 295) tires fit nicely in the rear
8x18 et 50 in front

Second x2
Forgeline GA3
8.5 using 245/40 offset 52mm Nitto Nt01
11 offset 40 315/30

third
Fiske stock sizes/offset

The Forgeline and Fiske's are pretty light, don't have the weights off the top of my head but in the high teens/low 20's for the rears. The LM's are my street wheels. Some guys go to 11.5 or 12 for the rears but I thought that just added more weight and wasn't sure it help performance much for the size of tires I wanted to use. Larger tires are obviously heavier too.

they're a somewhat unique bbs motorsport wheel, but the same can be done w/ e28 or e88 centers. wagontoya & spartan993tt can fill you in the fun part is you get a center and can basically test inner & outer hoops until you find exactly what's perfect for you. not hugely cheap, but you can't put a price on perfection.
