19" x 12" ET51 (997 GT2 sizing) coming in at 19 lbs.

they look identical to BBS F.I.'s, but are a newer model called RI-D's, and the only wheel in BBS' street wheel lineup made with series 7000 duralumin aircraft spec alloy.

can't wait to get them on the car this weekend!

 

THe 19x12 is the same weight as the OZ Superforgiata. What size wheel is on the scale?

 

What about 997.2 GT3 CL size from BBS?
is it available? pic?

 

the pic is for a rear GT2 997 spec wheel: 19" x 12" ET51

DISCLAIMER: I have no affiliation with BBS and i'm not selling anything! (besides, i don't think these are even available in the 'States)

they are from BBS Japan (that owns BBS Germany or something like that, after all that hooha about BBS Germany going into liquidation some time ago).

all the BBS Motorsports wheels-- including the BBS wheels for the Formula One teams-- are made in the Japan plant, which apparently is just sick impressive. a buddy of mine from whom i got the wheels visited them, as he is the distributor here in my country (he also exclusively distributes ADV, HRE, Prodrive, etc).

here's some interesting literature he gave me. pardon the japanese english

 

These wheels are sick! Can't wait to see them on your car!

 

I have the bbs centerlock wheels

 

Wheel ****.

 

Those are pretty light Can't wait to seem some pictures with them installed.

 

Just re-read the whole thing. The wheels are 8.54 KG.............. missed that the first time around.

 

Sweet stuff, no doubt. I'm guessing $12,000 a set?

 

Its unfortunate the FI or this new wheel doesnt come in narrowbody offet.

 

the RI-D comes in 19 x 11 ET63 which is rear narrow body fitment apparently. but 5-lug only AFAIK.

 

i've seen suggested retail at around that, but i was able to get a significant discount.

i would imagine pricing can vary significantly per territory where they're available, so its really hard to say. but yes, as far as Porsche wheels go, they're definitely at the very high end.

its all relative i suppose. the "Dione" (roadster) wheels for the Aventador are a close to $US 30k option from the dealer!

 

those bbs wheels look great. saw these the other day, crazy light. want to say about 15lb front 17lb rear in wide body fitment. 15k or so a set.

 

Thanks, its the x 11 part i dont like. Having the 305 on a 12 rim gives a much firmer sidewall keeping it square/lightly stretched rather then it drooping on a x 11 rim.
