how much are they? can you do custom offsets in the rear for a widebody?

Oh hey no offense meant.. I didn't mean it wasn't the 'greatest' aka "junk". I just meant it wasn't Porsche specific like the CEC one.. We have that one and I've used it on a bunch of other cars for friends and it works great. The 'locking' mechanism that the CEC one has (which is like 1.5K-2K...) is pretty nifty as well. For 300 bucks, the tire rack one is hard to beat.

Thats 18"? Don't you get the racing wheels in 19" too? Anyone got any pictures with 19" on 996s?

Marius---

No one runs 19" race wheels- because 19" race rubber is just about non existent--- I know Michelin is making a 19" sport cup...though...

The only racers who run 19"s are racing on the BLVD and not at the track
LOLOL

-Sharky-- Not to hijack your post- But you might want to make the guys aware that the race wheels are for racing purposes- and although many people use them on street cars including us ( GMG) they are not warranted by BBS for normal road use.. Nor are they really recommended because of the thin outer barrels.

Not to say that we havent used them -

Last thing you need is someone at your door step telling you that you sold them a bogus set of wheels ..............LLOLOL Cause that will never happen right.......... hahahahah

Fabryce, I know, but I am not a track racer, considering the wheels for the bling

Hehe.. I hear you loud and clear man Whenever people go down that path, I tell them upfront- these are NOT DOT nor will BBS warranty anything about them. No *****ing about the clear and so forth.. These are real race wheels fellas.
