Default Where did you get your wheels?

I'm looking for the BBS RS-GT 18" for a 97 2S and not finding options. Apparently tirerack only has the rear wheels available. Don't really want to resort to ebay. I'll be calling Vivid Racing later today.

I've looked for used without much luck. Any suggestions?



Thanks.

I think some people have purchased their wheels here.

+1 for wheeldynamics.com. Great people to do business with, and they have the latest/greatest mounting and balancing machines--Corghi Artiglio and Hunter RoadForce.

Default wheel size

Are these sizes correct for a NB 993?

7 J x 17 ET55
8.5 J x 17 ET55

Thanks.

From the guy who sold me the car. I assume he got the wheels from the dealer when he purchased the car. I checked wheels come as standard equipment on the 993.
Thanks for asking,
Andy

Not sure about the fitment for NB. First quote I have is for my WB-
18x11 45mm offset, no spacers needed
18x8 50mm offset

Send a PM to the seller

Thanks. PM Sent. I was looking for brilliant silver not diamond black but I guess I could have them blasted and refinished. Can you do that to a forged aluminum wheel?

Spoke to Wheelenhancements today - very helpful. Dave explained that forged aftermarket BBS wheels are getting hard to find. Apparently the Japanese subsidiary was sold/went bankrupt and now they are focusing on OEM only.
