Thinking of tarting up the old girl.

This would involve me securing a second set of used, correct fittment, centre lock RS wheels.

Please ping me if anyone has some for sale

Whilst thinking about the rims fitted to this model RS, I struggled to think of a design that bettered the OE pattern. However, I'm not sure I've ever seen a wheel look so right as the BBS cup type. Appreciate this magnesium racing wheel has its advantages and disadvantages if considered for road use but can they actually be fitted??? Or indeed, can you buy a BBS set with same style for the road car 997.2 RS?

Many thanks

BBS RE1337 would be what you're looking for. Not magnesium (thank bloody goodness!!) but still very light.

I have these (BBS RE forged) supplied via Rimstyle. Much less runout than the standard wheel and very light. F1R weren't available in the correct sizes at the time I bought, but the situation may have changed by now.

Great pics and ideas. I'm just magnetised to Cup car rims with exaggerated dish
Think this wheel is a BBS E07 Centrelock 3 piece. Can find them listed USA for various road models but not here. So far

How you doing Mr T?

Your BBS centre locks would look awesome. Will comeback to you as pondering different options.

Hope your orange RS search becomes fruitful
