These 19” BBS LM wheels and Sumitomo HTR Z II tires were purchased in April 2016. The barrels were professionally painted gloss black and center sections satin black using PPG automotive paint. I also had the center sections machined to accommodate factory Porsche center caps. Wheel and Tire specs. are as follows:
Fronts
LM116 19” X 8.5” (5 X 130) ET55 with 225/35-19 Sumitomo HTR Z II tires (Mfg. Date 12/14)
Rears
LM117 19” X 10” (5 X 130) ET62 with 265/30-19 Sumitomo HTR Z II tires (Mfg. Date 7/15)
Wheels and tires were installed on my 95 993 C2. I did not experience any tire rub with my suspension set just above RS specifications. The wheels are in excellent condition and if it wasn’t for a couple minor paint chips (see photos) I would say there in perfect condition. One of the wheels have a few nicks on the back from falling over while in storage. The tires are basically brand new (under 500 miles). The wheels come with authentic BBS valve stems and BBS decals (decals can be removed without damaging the paint finish). The main reason I went with the PPG paint over powder coat is the PPG paint can be stripped much easier then powder coat. The wheels come with one set (4) center caps. I’ve shown the wheels with two different types of OEM caps, you can choose either the all black caps or the colored crest caps, but not both. The all black metal caps are painted to match the center sections, the plastic colored crests caps are gloss black. To be honest the metal (all black) caps are a better fit then the plastic caps.
This wheel and tire combination may fit other models. I’ll do my best to assist with fitment questions but ultimately it will be the Buyers responsibility to confirm proper fit.
Shown below are photos of the wheels and tires along with a couple photos of the wheels prior to paint and a couple photos of the wheels mounted on my C2.
Asking $4,500 for the Wheels, Tires & Center Caps (4). Pickup preferred (Slatington, PA), but would consider shipping at buyer's expense.

Reason: Added info.
Nice wheels! How did you get the Porsche center caps to work? I've been wanting to do that to my set.
GLWS!
911F1,
When the wheels were disassembled for paint I took the center section to a machine shop where they machined the center cap hole larger to accommodate the OEM center cap.
I've attached a few additional photos of the wheels. I was told the original photos lacked detail so I tried to take better photos but unfortunately I wasn't able to capture the detail I hoped.
