I love your HRE wheels, but those all black E88 are pretty damn cool too.

I have black center E88, but my lips are polished and it just dosnt do the wheel justice. I should have all my lips painted black or something...

That looks classic, awesome!

I think the all black is not made for the GT3. But maybe special order? I did think about painting, or powder coating mine black too. Track car said it would be too 2005. LOL

I spoke with BBS last week and those E88's as in the pic with black anodized outer halves for our .1RS, the fronts 18x9 weigh 20.75 lbs and rears 18x12 weigh 21.50 lbs.
I am really struggling with this to justify the extra price.
The HRE P40R's in same dimensions are lighter for close to 2K less per set.

Your HRE are too nice and light to bother with E88
I may order the anodized outer halves for my E88, but alas my center is gloss black... oh my...

Oh, so sweet and old school. Had a black set on the 6GT3. Maybe some day a gold set for the Green.

Just saw these mounted on a 3.8 RS and they looked great.

new racing BBS

Also seems more air to the brakes w fewer spokes and lighter than the E88.
Seems only CL for that design tho.

Huge 2nd!

Eddie has been the key/sole supplier of track items for my GT3 RS with great service & pricing plus the trickle down effect:
Eddie gets Jamie his new track wheels, I get Jamie's previous track wheels etc.

Thanks Eddie/RPW!
