Very nice and great price. A widebody owner would be getting a great set of wheels. I love my E88's! (see sig )

Thanks Dell! These are truly a great wheel! IMO one of the best looking out there and when i picked them up after dismounting i couldnt believe how much lighter they were compared to the OEM hollows. Not to mention their strength. There's a reason why the RSR's and most World Challenge Porsche teams run BBS wheels (namely the e88's for WC).

BTW: I've always loved your GT3. Aesthetically perfect with the RS wing and e88's, i'd love a SY GT3 if my better half didnt dislike yellow so much.

E88s and BBS Racing rims are basically the same, right? Other than the fact that racing version having center lock conversion?

You've got no idea how badly i'd like to just jump in head first! But before i can even think about jumping i've got to get on my feet first (financially).

OT and from your SIG: Why silver with LWFW as the wanted GT3? Seems to me you'll either find a stock silver GT3, or a silver GT3 with LWFW and probably lots of other extras (likely due to a car with a track history)...

They are all part of the Motorsport race line. You can just specify center lock or 5 bolt. Remember, not all race cars run center locks. It just depends on the sanctioning body. For example, Grand-Am has 5 bolt wheels.

Well financially it would just help a lot if i didnt have to pay for the labor of adding a LWFW and i've always wanted a silver GT3. Everything else that i would add, labor wise would be fairly "cheap." And it's actually my hope that i can eventually find a well prepped track car (as thats where it will live with me), that's been well taken care of.
