I really like those wheels too... Eric your Mailbox is full... I wanted to ask what size fronts would you get for our cars running 235/40/18 8.5" or 8"?

The three piece designs of BBS and Fikse allow us to run not only strong/light wheels but also custom offsets/rim widths. There are a lot of different rear offsets to account for on the back of a 964 and 993 for example. If you are running the correct rear maxed out wheel, it won't fit both a 993 and 964. The factory 993 wheels fit both cars because they are only 9s but once you go to 10 or 10.5 they aren't the same. A single piece cast wheel would be a compromise for all the fitments you listed above.

944 spec only allows factory cookie cutters or phone dials. Cookie cutters run $200 to $250 a set. Used of course.

nasa 944 spec only allows those wheels, scca 944 spec i believe currently allows any oem wheel, and in my case i would REALLY like to have other wheels available for track days etc where i have no wheel restrictions.

chad, you are probably not in marketing field. i have kosei and SSR on bmw and bbs motorsport, fikse, kinessis, jongbloed, CCW on porsche. wheels cost more on p cars simply b/c p car owners are willing to pay. why we do that, i dont know. but that's mostly true. if i were making the wheels, say kosei k1's i will price it at 600 each for porsche application. why? b/c porsche owner will pay as it will be the cheapest choice out there for the application.

anyways, sorry there aren't great priced wheels like kosei, but CCW classicas at 2000 a set is not bad at all. or oz superlegra is pretty cheap too.

more like $1000-1500 per wheel for fikse and bbs.
i have had many wheels go bad on me. kosei has it's own issues as well, so do bbs. but in order to sell a product, you need to know your target audience. if kosei annodized the wheels and price it at $700/ea... you will start to see them on porsches. trust me on this.

when fikse drops price to $1500/set, no one will buy them anymore. this IS marketing.

this is how HUMAN mind works, dont fight it. i did a campaign for a very well know and $ cosmetic line. we put same "stuff" in men and women version of the subject product (it is still on the mkt), we shape them differently and different packaging (the packaging cost was the same for men vs women product, so is the cost for the actual product), but we charge the women version 3x the price. i tell all my women friends to just buy the men version. they all think i am full of sh*t... see, truth aint no matter, marketing is what counts.
