Really tired of seeing all these wheels that anyone can buy online and they all look the same. If I'm going to spend 4K-6k for a set of wheels I want something no one has. So these will be going on my 997.1tt next yr. my guy is going to start making them after sema. Going with 20x9 f and 20x12 r. Oh buy the way these are one off 3 piece forged. Any one else that want a set will have to wait till after I have mine.

Yes they are and that's a lot of money to spend on wheels. Then you go to a meet or show and you see 2or3 other cars with the same wheels you have. Don't get me wrong I think bbs wheels are great looking but they are out dated. Also that 9k can be more like 6k if you go to a place like queens or the Bronx.The owners of the places pay less rent so they can afford to keep the prices cheaper.
Exactly you get what you pay for sometimes & the top brands have proven performance records on the street & track with TUV testing ,unless you just want bling ,i would't chance those wheels on performance car with my life .

Forged 1-piece wheels are not only cheaper,.. but they are also stronger and lighter than 2 or 3 piece wheels. Even the same design by the same manufacturer. (I.E. Champion RG5 3-piece v.s. the 1-piece monolites).

I agree with you 100% buy let's not forget even the top brands at one point where start up companies. if we had not given them a chance to prove themselves we wouldn't know how great they are today. Besides I'm not going for a performance wheel I'm not tracking or racing my car so it's more for the looks. Who knows maybe these guys will be the next big wheel company.

Thanks BHR997.2TT. The BBS wheels are those designed for the 991.1 GT3 in 20". However after speaking to BBS reps, they assured me that these would fit the 997.2 TT/S with no clearance or rubbing issues. My concerns were the offsets but the 991.1 GT3 is a wide body and the offset are perfect 997TT fitment.
Full specs are;
F: 20x9 et52 (17.41lbs)
R: 20x12 et44 (20.50lbs)
Light as a feather (compared to OEM CL) and durable/strong as they are forged 1-piece wheels! As a bonus, they are BBS (proven quality) and IMHO, one of the best looking wheels on our P-cars!
