I've decided to sell my original BBS LMs because they were 17" and I was looking for something older in 16" as 15"s are too small for my taste.
As BBS RS, BBS E30, Compomotive CXN and 3 piece Fuchs were out of my budget, I was after a set of BBS Mahle but finally I came accross a set of these rare Fondmetal baskets. I like the design, they are very lightweight and perfect in dimensions: 7x16 ET21.5 fronts, 8x16 ET11 rears..that means no spacers, less unsprung weight. They are not common even on Porsches.

I bought a nice set of brakes at SPA. I was confused about the color (was thinking on red as well), but finally choose black ones with vented rotors. They are 6 pots and extremely light, each weights less than 1,5 kgs with pads! Unsprung weight again..
   On the rear I will use NA 944 floating calipers and vented rotors now, than similar Taroxs if current setup is not enough.
