Jon, You sure that is the monobloc for the GT3? I was told that this, which Nizer posted, is. Notice they are different. The one above has no lip, while the one below does. Because it does, the spokes are shorter and look fatter. To me, the one below looks perfect. I am awaiting a response from BBS on when this will be available.

atleung, im not certain.....but if you look at the pic of the BBS RE wheel
and compare it to the GMG GT3 and the HYBRID GT3... u will see that the GMG car has the spokes that go out to the edge of the wheel and that on the HYBRID GT3 there is a lip from the edge of the wheel to the spokes.

on post #1, the wheel center looks fine
on post #13, the wheel center looks tiny.
is that b/c #1 is 19" and #13 is 18"?
or is it optical illusion due to color?
i like the wheel in post #1, but not post #13.

The wheel in post #1 is the test fitted 3-piece BBS Cup in 19" with 19" center with 997.2 centrelock.
The wheel in post #13 is the BBS Cup in 19" but with 18" center with 997.2 centrelock - this seems to be an independently setup combination that appeared on a 997.2 GT3 in seconhand German market.
I also spoke to BBS here in Europe, and they currently have the 3-piece Cup wheel in 18", and a monoblock in 19". They claim that 18" monoblock is in preparation, and should be ready in May.
That's what I am waiting for.
By the way, carnewal.com is selling the 3-piece Cup wheel with GT3 centrelock, as well as E-88 in 5 lug configuration both in 18" and 19".
Best,
