New BBS FI-R for 991 Turbo

I finally got my new wheels in last week after choosing the BBS FI-R. I went with the the 9X20 ET 48 and 11.5x20 ET46. The wheels are forged monoblocks. I was shocked at how light they were when they arrived. The only other comment is the detail of the wheels is definitely better in person and the more aggressive offset is much better than factory.

Link to the wheels:

I'd also like to thank Brian Hare at Detail Werkz here in Dallas for setting me up with the wheels. He has been taking care of my other cars for 6 years and is the best around.

That's a good look on the white and the rims are an attractive style. Good choice.

Those look great, Tom! I don't remember your car having the chrome window trim but it looks good on white. Well done.

Thanks Patrick. When I ordered them I did not even take that into account, but ended up looking great.

Thank you. No that picture was taken right as wheels were put on and that was just some tire lube and rubber, wiped right off.
Several years ago I got an Audi S5 as a daily. I put some new RS4 wheels on it and went through the Dunkin Donut drive through for a ice coffee. As I was pulling away heard a crunch because I was not paying attention curbed the drovers side front wheel after 2 days of having them on. Never drank a Dunkin coffee again

Best rim available in IMO. Congrats. I had the previous version "FI" on my old 997 GT2.

You would be able to in person. The BBS wheel has a beveled spoke and the cut outs give it a lot of character. The P101 is nice too but has a higher ridge in the center. In person they definitely look different although i agree it is similar overall look.
