All four of my 🦞 🍴 wheels are stamped “BBS” 8x19 & 11x19 rims. Both manufacturers are very reputable and produce high quality wheels. There shouldn’t be any issues what so ever using one manufacturer’s wheels in the front and another manufacturer’s wheel in the rear. The lobster 🦞 🍴 wheels are actually one of the lightest if not the lightest factory 19 inch wheel ever offered by Porsche

I believe the Sport Design wheels by BBS are the lightest factory wheel. Never been a fan of either design. The Sport Designs that came on my wife's car were the 2nd thing we sold off when it arrived, right after the alcantara steering wheel. For winter wheels, Lobsters wouldn't be a bad choice, whereas the sport design would. Having grown up in the Northeast and driven through a lot of snow, what you don't want is a spoke design that captures a lot of snow and throws off the balance of the wheel - those sport designs would do exactly that.
Unfortunately, I cracked one of my BBS lobster forks. I was able to track down a Ronal OEM wheel. I'm thinking I'm going to bite the bullet even if part of me will be a tiny bit sad they are not all matching BBS anymore. Thoughts?

I found sets of fronts and sets of rears that were ronal and bbs. I feel like so long as fronts as same mfg and rears are same mfg, should be good to go. I wouldn’t mix 1 rear or 1 front only if it was me.

Ended up passing on the rim; decided it would bother me if they weren’t matching. Luckily, I was able to find a person with a set of BBS rears and planning to pick one up this weekend.
