Looks great, real nice choice. Looks like they will be a challenge to clean...

Hey Ricardo,

The new wheels look great!

I notice there is a chrome edge just on the lip of the wheel. Is that part polished or is it some trim that is glued on?

It is a replaceable polished piece of trim to protect from curb rash. I assume it's glued on

Very nice choice of wheels! What is the difference between the the CH and CH-R?

Great looking wheels - nice to see wheel mods that don't undermine the car, but rather take it up a notch.

The CH-R seems to be an evolution of the CH. Slightly different sizing of the spokes and some new contours.

Also, it is my understanding that all CH-R's for Porsche fitment that have been brought over by BBS North America do not have the "Motorsport" around the hub (which I prefer).

Thanks Steve, a few of my friends have made similar comments. The wheels have an "OEM upgrade" look.

Looks great. I was looking at these on TireRack, and was waiting for someone to post some pics. Very clean, classy appearance, with a nice stance from the TechArts.

I really like the look of these wheels. They look great on your ride.
The problem for me is that a new set of wheels comes with a divorce. It just might be worth it!

Thanks for all of the comments, I couldn't be happier with my choice.

Now that I have had them for a few days I have already accumulated a noticeable amount of brake dust. Looks like I'm going to be spending lots of time cleaning them!
