Very nice touch with the blue center cap. Anothre question. How come you didn't order them with a lower offset instead of running spacers? Is it cheaper this way to order a conservative size from Tire Rack vs ordering a custom/lower offset from say Supreme Power or Butzi Gear?

So that's where the orange set from the Marketplace ended up. ..

Had the same, but polished.

Yep I was after RS98's but they never come up for sale. In the end the price was right and the seller easy to work with so ended up buying these instead.

nice meeting you drockzcity. I'd say seeing those BBS e88 in person sold me on my next wheel project. Nice exhaust as well. Here are photos I took of your car.

They are indeed blue centercaps. Easy to clean with wheel woolies. In fact I find them easier than the CHs I used to run on the RS4. I also coated them in a ceramic coating.

Thank you! No cheaper, these were just available and the correct listing for a NB car. I believe BBS just plays it safe as their 50 offset is listed for WB variants. A custom offset from Dave or similar (Dave is a local guy and great to work with, btw) would require quite a bit more work as LMs are 2 piece, not 3; thus a conversion for a custom offset would be quite laborious.

Yakima skyline system for the 911. I got the through bars through Rack Attack. As for the bike holders, one is a thule, the second is a rocky mount. I actually prefer the rocky mount and will be switching to that for both.

You have any pictures of the car in motion with these - sometimes they can look different when spinning vs stationary and for some reason that's important to me as well, like this shot I grabbed of my Forgeline SC1s from my drive-by exhaust video - in motion, the rears look especially concave.



or this one from Road Atlanta during some Porsche parade laps
