Default BBS 19" Monoblock VS. E07

Which is better for the 997.2 RS?? Been thinking about this for quite some time... Both looks good, by how many lbs are the Monoblocks lighter than the E07? Which is more "Porsche Motorsport" look?

Depends what you are going after. If you want a wheel that you can replace rim halves if you damage them then e88. If you want a lighter, stronger wheel then monoblocks. The weight of 19" center-lock monoblocks 17.9lbs front 21.7lbs rear.

As for which is more Porsche Motorsport depends what look/era you are going for. Early cups and even some late cups ran the 3 piece style, and a lot of 997.2 cups ran the monoblocks.

Both are great wheels. Here are my monoblocks that Jamie and I had made in a 5 lug version modeled after the cup car wheel. And also a pic of the cup car with the 18" monoblocks.

Nice! Thanks for the info, Jamie also advised me to go for the Monoblocks since its lighter and stronger. And yeah most of the 997.2 cup cars use Monoblocks, it was also highly recommended by Manthey Racing to me...

They were for 997 wide body... And not made anymore to my knowledge, but likely could be reintroduced if there was enough interest.
