Mike,
I can't upload any bigger pictures. The Rennlist site does not have me listed as member even though I am paid up until April 2008!
I'll send you several by e-mail.

The BBS RE's are great looking and lightweight. I bought mine from TireRack.
The inner lip of the left front wheel rubbed the helper spring perch of my PSS9's. I was running almost 2 degrees of negative camber at the time. This was cured by taking off the helper springs. They were fully compressed with the car on the ground so I saw no use for them on the road. The main springs were secured so that they would stay in place when the car was put on a lift.
The BBS RE's are a gorgeous wheel. They are very easy to clean. The only negative thing I have to say is that they look small on the 996 versus the Carrera 5 spoke wheels.
I did not use spacers to fill out the wheel wells.

My last wheels were the Fikse FM10's and now with the K28's, I've had my share with cleaning intricate designed wheels.
