FWIW-the 20" Carrera are made by BBS, I just had them off on Monday cleaning them and installing spacers. They were surprisingly light.

I would like to see some too though.

 

Oh didnt know the 20" carrera s rims were BBS. Good to know.

 

I guess that why it is a 3 grand upgrade.

 

i think these ones would look nice on a 981

My friend just posted this classic look on a 991, old school

 

Yeah I like those. But not sure how the black rims would look with my Blue 981.

 

yeah I have seen alot of rims that look like bbs rims. But they are so expensive for a set .

 

I like the gold meshies on the white Trans-Am GTA beside your bud!

I wanted those BBS CH-Rs in silver on mine BUT b/c of their weight, I think I'll save for the forged Breytons (similar design) and save 25 lbs total!
p.s. the oem 18's are by RONAL as well, one of the few companies using quality alloy that is very difficult to dent, bent, deform!

As for the BBS's I am all for them in silver on mine BUT b/c of their weight, I think I'll save for the forged Breytons (very similar design) and save 25 lbs total!

Oh ok I have never heard of forged breytons. Will check them out.

 

Though I do like these wheels....

If I were going to buy that style wheel, I'd buy the ones off of Wheel Dynamics. I like the curvature on their arches better.

Not sure if the black would look good with my colour.

 

Rastabuoy, since youve got the black top I think black wheels would look mean on your car. The platinum matte wheel looks great on my car, just picture it a little darker. The 19" S wheels look really good on your car, what about powder coating them?

I too just learned (stumbled upon actually) that the 20" Carrera S wheels are made by BBS. Makes me a little more comfortable with a $4k wheels upgrade. Though I wa sa bit shocked to see that replacement tires will cost $17-1800 to replace.

 

Yeah I was thinking of powder coating them. Wow 17-1800 for replacement tires.

 

They aren't quite that bad. I just played around on tirerack for a few minutes. If you want the OE tires in the exact specs they are $17-1800, but I found many other high end tires that would definitely fit the 20" wheels for far less. You just have to modify the specs a bit. For example, if you keep the same specs for the rear but put 10mm wider rubber (barely noticeable difference) in the front, there's far more choices. Only a select few tires offer staggered sets that match up to the exact specs of the factory tires.

They go as cheap as this:

245/35ZR20 - $145 (2) =$290
265/35ZR20 - $275 (2) = $550
TOTAL = $840

Not saying I recommend the above tire...but there are many choices.

 

I think I will stick with 19" rims and tires. But still looking at any good suggestions for rims.

 

My wheels and tires may be for sale shortly... still playing with color options. Mine are powder coated but I chose a custom color.

Perfect shape, 3K miles on tires.

 

To Rastabuoy with love, from the Japanese market ONLY! :taunt:

 

This looks ok. I guess i have some thinking to do for the next couple of month when I get my winters off.

 

Those JDM BBS's look really light but they'll be an arm'n a leg!...
