I'm not sure if it was clear in the original post, but BBS does not currently make a 19" Monoblock in 5lug fitment, just centerlock. That said, we do not have pics of 19" 5lug monoblocks on a car as they don't exist yet, this is the entire reason for this group buy!
This is a rare opportunity to guide a well respected company into making something that they've overlooked...

1. Jamie_GT3: Set D in Gloss Black
2. BMWTYE: Set B in Motorsports Polish (add $600)
3. BeakerGT3: Set A or B(if necessary for volume) in Motorsports Silver
4. Nizer: ???
MaoMao911, we can do the two fronts, the 19x9 ET50 fits the front of the Cayman/Boxster and the 19x9.5 can fit the rear. Let me know if this is of interest

So with a universal fitment rear (essentially split the difference between NB and WB offset and allow the WB guys to run the factory spacer). We have the 19x12 wheels covered.
Issue is with fronts.
Beaker_GT3 is willing to do 9.5" wide with 997.2 flares. So we have 6 19x9.5
If Nizer is a go (hasn't confirmed) then /five and Nizer get to 4 19x9" fronts
If MaoMao911 wants to do Boxster/Cayman set, then we're golden as that 19x9 and 19x9.5...
So if Nizer and MaoMao911 are in, we can move on to payment. If not, then we need a few more guys...
Anyone know the rules of group buys on 6 speed? whenever I've tried to sell something over there, the mods aren't so flexible...

BBS needs us to bring 6 of each size of wheel we want made for them to be interested in making them.

...don't need a new bumper, fenders or fender liners -- just a bolt on after paint?
