Thanks for the comments guys! I fell in love with the wheels, and to be quite honest I think they're the only reason I haven't sold the car yet! lol

I bet they get a lot of stares when you roll in to a gas station with those on. They look they're straight off a GT3 Cup Car!

Great choice on the color for your E88s!

Most people care about the car, not the wheels in the area I live in. Those that do know wheels still think it's not entirely their cup of tea, but they're also the same ones that are buying $400 wheels for their Civics and think they're stupid high quality.

I only buy quality, which is why in my garage there is only OEM wheels, Volk wheels, OZ wheels, and these BBSs.

I wasn't sure how it'd look with the gold on silver, but I'm very happy with how it turned out. I've never really seen this color combo on a Porsche, so it's nice to be different.

Wow! Nice choices! Those are the choices that I recommend when the customers are looking for quality construction. I still think the E88s are just classic! They make the car look like the business!

We can get the E88s for you direct from BBS Motorsports.

They're special order items, but there's a good stock of barrels and faces in the US so I'm sure they can get the sets out to you quickly.
