Default SOLD - BBS E88 Wheels W/ Hoosier Slicks

For sale is a set of BBS E88 Wheels with almost new Hoosier R6 tires. 18x9" and 18x11" These are about the lightest and strongest wheels available for Porsches and are about $5-6K new. These will fit GT3's as well as all other narrow body 996's I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong though.)

SOLD!!!

Feel free to e mail or call with any questions.

Thanks!!!

Josh

Very nice looking, I'm sure it's safe to say everyone knows about the long-standing tradition of BBS and its commitment to reliability and excellence. GLWS

I believe these will only really fit GT3's, narrow body 996's, and 996 cup cars. I don't know the offsets and BBS doesn't put them on the wheels.

Forgot to mention that these come with a new BBS inner wheel half and spare gasket incase you ever bend one.

I also had all four wheels torqued and checked for trueness when I had the new R6's mounted.

Thanks!!!

Interesting - my BBS wheels have all the dimesions and offset figures stamped into them.

Three piece wheels can be configured in a number of different offsets, widths and even diameters. As a result, it doesn't make any sense to stamp the centers with these measurements.

Exactly. These wheels can be configured many different ways.

Unless you already have a set of E88's or monoblocks, you need a set.
