I have always had a soft spot for the old BBS RS likes these, I have seen them on older 911's but does anyone have them on a 996 and how do they look?

Thanks
 
Gorgous wheels, do a google or similar, i have seen a few over the years but only a few, would look pretty good me thinks

Get the photoshop out for an hour and mock it up!!

these are my old 15" which have now been sold

Any idea what size and et I would need, also stud pattern?
 
Here is my 996 GT3 with 3 x piece ABB alloy wheels with dummy centre lock caps. They have black bodies but are very similar to these BBS wheels to give you a generic idea of the results.

I dont know the sizes TBH but as they are a 3 piece design, i imagine the configurations are pretty endless. Plus are you a NB or WB owner ???

Maybe give Chris a call at Excell Wheels, he may know

Goodluck

Sorry I'm very new what is NB and WB?

Anyone good on photo shop?
 
NB narrow body
WB wide body

It will affect what wheels you can fit. Width, offset (Refered to as an ET) number etc

mine is a 1999 3.4 so I'm guessing it's a NB :)
 
I've got some 18" BBS E88's as pictured on my Turbo.

Loving the E88's guys, aren't these magnesium so apparently not that durable?
 
Nice :) been keeping my eye out for a set of LM's but I'll add these to list
 
Im running BBS LM's on my turbo.
