Default New Wheels!
Finally received and installed the E88 BBS wheels on the GT3. Maybe best described as "functional track look".

Big thanks to Alekshop for the hookup!

Eagle eyes! True story, these are indeed E07s! Just got excited about that style, minus updated details.

They sure do! Probably a much better selection in 5 lug too. I will let Mooty instruct you on the choices, as he knows a lot more about these!

Gold would be the true classic! I find the look appropriate and functional. Unfortunately my wife hated them . Oh well...

Took you a while to get here Wheels are a perfect match for the car.

5 lugs would be E88 - similar design but a bit more spokes. They don't make E07 Centers in 5 lugs only CL.
