Has anyone put a set of BBS LMs on a 997 yet?
For being one of the most popular wheel options on all 911s, I don't think I recall having seen a set on a 997 yet.

I was told they don't fit and the likely the first BBS rims to fit the 997 would be the RS-GTs.
I initially wanted to buy the LMs. I am very happy with my Kinesis F110s though.

IMHO not the greatest looking combo, at least not in the pic above.
Sorry to go off on F110 tangent , but I'm with Crazy Canuck-- Kinesis F110's look incredible:
Kinesis F110 Pic I
Kinesis F110 Pic II
Kinesis F110 Pic III
...reads like an ad for Sharkwerks but it's okay-- they're a Rennlist sponsor.

I too love the F110. It's simply a gorgeous wheel.

You are probably right; that site does not show the offsets - 57/67.

These look interesting (BBS Race Wheels) and Carnewal lists 19" fitments for BBS LMs but BBS USA's site only lists 18 inch fitments.
...And the same wheel with magnesium centers:

I just ordered a set from Tire Rack. I'll post pictures this week. I ordered a set of the Bridgestone All Season tires for them. The PS2s are eating me out of house and home.
