I have been searching for the right wheels for my car for some time. I had first thought of doing a set of CCW classics which turned out they will still make them for us, but don't seem to be recommend and don't allow many options. Then I started looking into Fiske's which lead me to find David Esposito from BuziGear in CT. After a conversation with David regarding Fiske wheels and colors I was thinking about he mentioned to me about the E88. It was originally the wheel I wanted to go with but thought they were going to be well outside what I wanted to spend. David informed me that he could spec out a set for me that wouldnt be much more than the Fiske I was considering, and would be able to get them a lot quicker.

Told David I didn't want to mess with fenders and have any fitment issues and he assured me I would not. Talking with David really put my mind at ease. He is a real fitment and wheel guru! It's hard for most of us to trust our cars with someone however you meet those certain genuine people who you know you can trust, and David is one of those guys. He built for me a perfect fitting set of E88s for me that required no fender modifications that fit perfectly. He also did a stud conversion kit for me, and ended up delivering the car to me as he was driving out in my direction. (His shop is about and hour and half away) My wife was shocked I was allowing someone to drive my car! But as I mentioned dealing with David left my mind at ease!

So here they are 18x8.5 and 18x12 wrapped in R888s. Cars is lowered on Ohlins road and track slightly higher than GT2 specs.

 

Fitment looks spot on. Can't go wrong with a set of mesh bbs on these cars. Looks great.

 

Very nice! The wheels look very proper

 

Awesome! I also went through David, I purchased the other set of E88s They arrive Monday!

And like you, I was between Fikses and these. However, I had a little ordeal with my Fikses' and that allowed me to jump on the E88s

 

Mike - thanks for the kind words. It was a pleasure working with you. Enjoy your beautiful 996TT!

Daryll - keep me posted as to when you get yours, I can't wait to see them on!

Cheers!

 

Looking good. Any idea of the offset numbers you went with?

 

Looks great , you can't go wrong with David

 

Thanks Bader.

Rabbit - The wheels are built to suit. Shoot me an email and I can set you up. info@butzigear.com

 

David is an awesome guy. Very patient and very knowledgeable. Currently, we are working on customizing a set of e88s for my slate gray 996. Can't wait to see what we come up with.

 

They look perfect OP!

I wouldn't mind a set of e88s myself. Perfect wheels for the 996 IMO.
