Thinking about BBS CHs? Any one have photos or suggestions. Looking for a wheel with no deep dish lip. Want something a bit more modern.

I don't think CH has correct offset for wide body 993s. If you looking for no lip, there are couple sets of 19" Techart and HRE P40 at for sale section.

Thanks Ray. Looking for an 18 inch wheel. Figured that was the case with the CH. Would look great though.

How about some 996 turbo take-off wheels? I'm sure you could find a set and they do look perfect on the 993 widebody.

That's what I have on mine, really there isn't a ton of nice wheels out there. The RUF's are heavy, & to much $$ for what they are.

The P40's will work, but they are not ideal for the 993 Widebody. They require some rolling and massaging on the 993 Cars. This would not be a "bolt on" and drive away application. I just want to provide that info up front.

With that said, it has been done and the results are stunning. This car was also lowered

HRE Guy. Exactly what I am looking for. Saw the exact same wheel in flat black at Wheel Enhancement and love it. Only issue is that IMHO I think 19's look funny on a 993. Too big. Do you make that wheel in an 18?

Dunit,

At this time there are no plans for the 18" Monoblok in Porsche applications. Many of the customers that run 18" applications tend to move towards our Competition Series. Have you looked at the C90?

Check champion, BBS LM (always look great on most of cars)
I love JDM wheels as well, check Work wheels.
If you want nice looking wheel at a great price, just like few people said earlier get 996TT wheels.
