Hey guys, does anyone have any pics of the BBS CH-R Titanium on a black 997 TT? Trying to decide on this rim.

Any other suggestions? Feel free to post pics

Thanks

I am looking to pull the trigger on these as well. Need to determine if I want 8.5 up front and 11 in rear or 9 up front and 12 in rear. Want to use my nearly brand new 235 and 305 RE11 tires.

Anybody know FOR SURE if the 9 is too wide for the 235 or the 12 is too wide for the 305?

Thanks

I had 305 on the rear on 12" wide 20s. Way too stretched. Just put on 325s thanks to damon@tirerack, much better.

Really depends on the tire. I have stock size MPSC's on OEM GT3RS wheels (8.5/12) and they fit perfectly.

I am going to get 9 in front and rear with 325 or 335.
The best deal I could find was $2490 for set ( 9, 12) shipped to the door (no tax). If you want to buy together, I can maybe get a better deal for us. Do you have any other pics of the rim?

I think I am going to stick with 8.5 and 11 wheels to be able to utilize my existing tires. I just need to find out what the stock offset is on the stock wheels to make sure that the 8.5f and 11r BBS CH-R's have a bit more aggressive offest to bring the wheels out a bit further than where the stockers sit now. A bit too tucked for my taste.

Aren't these cast and heavier than the OE Turbo wheel? Personally, if I am going to swap wheels, I would go with a wheel that is at least as good, in terms of overall weight and strength, as the factory wheel.

However, I must say, the CH-R's look great! I was just turned off by the fact that they are not forged and heavier.

The BBS CH-R wheels in 19x8.5 and 19x11 are 24 and 26 pounds in weight. The front is slightly heavier than the 997.1TT wheel, while the back is slightly lighter.
