Default 18'' BBS Sport Design Wheels

Hi y'all!

Anyone know where these wheels could've been bought / what they are?

To me it looks like the sport design wheels, but I noticed the details around the rim aren't present.

Thanks!

Similar but not sport designs. These are my 18" sport designs. The lip was natural finish and the centers were silver from the factory. These just got powdercoated in gunmetal.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I wonder where these came from... can't seem to find anything online.

@FLT SIXX Was the picture you posted before or after the gunmetal powder coating? I’m considering doing the same thing on my sport design wheels.

My picture was of the finished state. These wheels were silver with a polished lip from the factory.

Any chance you have the paint code for the gunmetal color you used?

I can't help you there. The company I had powdercoat them in Toledo actually custom blends that color, they'd even named it and I forgot the name. The fact is I chose it based on their color board of samples. I'd find a local powdercoater and take a look at their samples.

I'm late to your party but I have the same wheels on my 996. They are BSA 215. Hat tip to zbomb, as he nailed it last year.
