Preview: 18" BBS on the 1303

Wally · #1 April 11th 2006, 16:25

Wheels are porsche Sport-Classic II, made by BBS.
Size is 18x7,5 and 18x9. Quite rare in this size as it was an option on Boxsters only. The 996 got the even wider 8 and 10Jx18 as an option only as well. I really wanted the smallest 18" in this wheel there was. Took a while, but I am very pleased with the results

:

When there's an engine in it again, I will post some pics of the car outside with all 4 wheels on them

Great looking wheel. Will you keep the gold or are you going with a different color?

Hot! I like the gold with the white car.

Tnx, somehow I knew you would like them

As the Golf/Rabbit GTi seat went into the 412, I could also uprate those.
The Recaro 'Speed' can just be seen as well in the pic. I only got one so far, but it'll do for now

those look absolutely fantastic, I'd keep them the color they are as well.

Hello,

I like them very, very much. Reminds me of the fact that I got too many projects going on. I'm getting behind with my own car...

Nice seat, you will notice the difference next time you're making some track-time

.

Cheers,
Richard

hey wally, have you roled your fenders, or are they fiber glass flared fenders? I'd keep your wheels gold, but then again it's a question of personal taste.

Wally · #11 April 13th 2006, 01:51

Yes, of course they will stay this way

IRL and in the outside light, they look even more spectacular

The fenders are flared Kerscher GRP units. Nice thing is, that I use stock width springs (not stock springs mind you) and have full turning ability, even with these wide front wheels

Thanks all for the nice comments :agree:
