Hi All,

As per the title, I’m looking for a set of 19” BBS LMs (preferably with gold faces, but if not I can get the faces painted) to fit a 2006 997 GT3. If anyone has a set, or knows of a set they’d be willing to point me in the direction of I’d be really grateful.

I’m on 07760178040 if anyone has any suggestions. On the wheels, that is. I don’t need any suggestions about my haircut. Or my general musk.

Many thanks in advance.
N.

BBS has been in financial turmoil a few times so alloy sizes they previously made have been discontinued for many older cars. You want these in the correct sizes for a track car like a GT3 as you’ll be leaning on those tyres hence why they leave factory with 12 inch rears. Worth reaching out to this US firm to see if they have any left over. Lovely alloys good taste wink

If above US firm do not have any left maybe worth speaking to 9e in Horley who are BBS distributors but BBS won’t make a batch unless they lay on maybe 4 sets. If so I’ll have a set and use them on track. Love these. Ask for Adam at 9e smile

I’m cool, thank you mate.

Or, at least, as cool as one can expect to be in these pantaloons.

Let us know what Hendrik says. Used to use him for alloy wheels when we were still the EU. Good guy smile

Amazingly, there is no way of emailing them from their site. Am I really going to have to call a person on the telephone? What is this, 1942?

And none of their own links to soc media etc work. That’s odd.

I've never used them just noticed the wheels were available last year. This email is in their Rennlist signature and they seem to be a site sponsor.
