I believe they go through a different distribution channel than BBS street wheels, and they're all built to order. Really attractive wheels, for sure.

I leave my nice cars in texas during spring training because:
1)we get a really cheap deal on rental cars aka ghetto Autocross(usually get a RWD sedan that I practice parking lot stunt parking with, you know, those 180* spinning stops)
2)we stay in peoria or surprise which has ZERO mechanical support, nearest audi/pcar/benz dealer is 60 mins away in scottsdale (others in central phoenix are sketchy at best)
3)I only drive to and from the field, and often to baja fresh and jamba juice. Occasionally Cheesecake factory. daily commute-one mile or less.
4)super low speed limits and "extra spring allocations" on motorcycle cops= I got a ticket in my 993 annually.
5)Dust, dirt and more dust and dirt. oh and SUN. and more sun.
6)price of shipping car in covered wagon back to TX from AZ is more than the price of 6 weeks renting
7)area is a 50/50 mix of rice rocket/motorcycle riding slim shadies and geriatric time fighters= accidents
8)TONS of theft and car burglaries
I really miss them the whole time though! that's the downside of my job- I spend so much time away from home ( about 20 weeks a year) and my cars sit for a week or more often when I'm gone. But hey at least the mileage stays low!

I have track wheels already so they will be used on the street.
Not sure what you mean when you write "bling over performance"...

I know several 997 RS owners that have bought 20" wheels. The ones I'm considering are actually lighter than the 19" wheels I believe, very expensive

However, if you guys like em with 20's; that is your prirogative. To each their own...
