Default 964 wheels / suspension

Thanks in advance for the help. Just bought my first Porsche, 1990 black C4. Need advice with wheels / suspension. I want 18" for sure. Here are 2 pics I really like. Where can I find BBS RS wheels?


18" BBS RS - where do I find these?



Are these Rotiform Fuch? If not, what are they and where do I get them?

Congrats on the car. I was in the same boat as you a while back..I also nailed down to these options.
Suspension setup is mostly Rotiform H&R deep coilovers. That's what i got.

Both wheels look amazing but they are not cheap.

There's a guy selling 18" BBS rs.

OMG. Your car looks sick. I might have to copy you. What brand/model and size/offset are you running please? Looks way better than the BBS RS on that white car. Nice work. I'd love to see some color pics if you have some!

Welcome to the forum!

Here's a helpful 18" wheel guide created by a Rennlister:

The Fuchs image above look like a "utah914" photoshop job.

Checkout this thread, lots of variations of the theme...

I love the dish of these:

I got them from wheel dynamics.com. They are perfect fit for 964's. I did a lot of research on offset's & fitment. No rubbing at all at this height at hard driving.

Give J_MENDIETA a call. 18'' bbs rs are going to need to be built. You can go with slant lips like J_Medieta or bubble lips like brian from rotiform (Car you posted). I really prefer the bubble step lips because it breaks up the jump from 16'' better. But slants can look good if done right like J.

I decided to switch from Cup Alloys on my 92 C4 to original Fuchs Alloys and I think they work really well.

Lol. Only a 964 owner would say that. If you said that in the 993 or 911 forum they wouldn't know what sick is. Lol. Old farts.
The 964 is the model year that is attracting the next generation and it will be the most desired 911. Period!
Mark, you seem to know what you want, and you are on the right track. There are plenty of pics on the forums and Google search will pull up some "sick" 964 wheel pics. Rotiform has done some nice setups. The cool thing about the 964 is the wheel game is all up to the owners tastes... As long as the stance is "sick." Just make sure your offsets and wheel size and suspension is right to get that drop right. Just do your research and ask questions before you spend any money. There is plenty of help here.
