Default BBS 18" E88 Centerlock for GT3RS

Long shot, but if anyone has a set for sale. I may be interested. It must be 18" in good shape.

Thank you,

Sandy

You may be right, Mooty. But they are the 7Y Centerlock for the RS. I think BBS accesambles it on demand, meaning they are not always in stock.

Some of the new generation cups I've seen have what looks to be 5 lug e88. I saw a picture of one on teamspeed and didn't get a definitive answer about the wheels.

The BBS for the GT3 centerlock and the cup wheels are NOT the same.

Correct street car center lock and race car center lock are totally different. You need to call Eddie at Orbit and have him get you the same BBS wheels as Peter has.

If he has them in stock I will be down near Orbit on a business trip in a few weeks and could pick them up for you.

The wheels on the Magnus cup car are the ones I was talking about, look like original e88 and appears to have slots for lugs, but I'm not positive. Would love to see those wheels offered for our centerlocks.

Why buy 18"

Just beginning de, you need to learn car on sport cup at most

Don't goto sticky tires too soon, they break away at a higher rate of speed and bite if you can't deal with it

Save your money for seat time
