POLL: BBS LM/WORK BROMBACHER/RUF/FIKSE/TURBO WHEELS

[.::M::.]

I officially have a Porsche Carerra sitting on jackstands in my garage, I have pretty much made my mind up on BBS LM's, but wanted to see what everyone else thaught too. It will have new shoes mounted by next thursday, so chime in on your favorites.

List your favorite wheels in order 1-5 (1 being most, and 5 being least)

Glad you put the lm's first ;). My order woulda been lms, works, ruf, fikse, twists, carerras. Lms are secs :drool:

[BMW boobies]

lm's are my favorite wheels ever, but I dont like them on your body style, turbo twist in 18"s or ruf's all the rest look terrible on your car imo
-Sean

[94JZA80]

Work Brombacher's > LM's > all the rest.


...while i love LM's, they are so damn overplayed its sickening. plus the quality isn't worth the premium you'll pay for genuine set of BBS LM's. the Work Brombachers on the other hand are essentially VS-XX's made specifically for Porsches, and are far less played out than LM's (especially on Porsches). and they'll cost less than the LM's as well.


...of course i'm just working with the wheel options you provided. perhaps some Advan RG's are in order:

or some Volk GT-U's (sorry - i couldn't find them on a Porsche, but i've seen them on a few Porsches before, and they all looked SICK :drool:):

[.::M::.]

CHINO---what wheels are the ones that you posted up? I have seen those at vortex before, lemme know asap ill check em out.

94jz, what do the volks run? and the advans? in 18s

[1clean335i]

Those are CCW Classics... The company is up in Tampa. They custom make the wheels to order and can make them in whatever offset/width/size you want ;) Really reasonably priced to!

[M5Beast]

I'm partial to my fiskes :-)

[LDadrenaline]

I don't think your car has a wide enough body for the CCWs, they would look stupid.

[Oceanside A4]

Custom turbo twists with lips and rivets? > LMs > RuF> Work > the rest. are you going to paint the rims white or black to match or leave them?

[94JZA80]

I don't think your car has a wide enough body for the CCWs, they would look stupid.
did you miss what Chino said about CCW's ability to offer custom diameter, width, and offset? he can get them in an offset that corresponds to a much smaller lip than the lips shown on those widebody pics. then they would look fine on his car. i completely forgot about the Classics Chino...good suggestion.




94jz, what do the volks run? and the advans? in 18s
i honestly couldn't tell you. but if i had to venture a guess, i'd say that either of them will run about the same as the Works, maybe slightly less. but don't quote me on that...

[.::M::.]

Thanks chino and 94jz.

Keith, I will be painting them white later down the road, but keeping silver for now.

Im pretty set on the LM's, I am checking into ccw's as we speak, thats about my only other option, the hollow spoke turbo twists are cool too....LMs are 1000 a wheel, and ill be getting a great deal, so I cant argue.

i suppose that's a good price for LM's, but its all relative. you'll spend less on pretty much any of those other wheel options (i'm sure the LM's will be the most expensive when all is said and done). but it seems that aesthetics are more important in this instance than overall price. the bottom line is that you need to do what your heart tells you.

[gti18tmadness]

^those ccw's are pretty hot on the car...need to be wider :D

i would love to see a porsche pull off some stretch and poke..
lm's are hot to..

as long as its not too much poke, it looks good. ill post a pic in a bit of a couple stretching :)

whats wrong with the ones you have???

[jgs911]

I had the LM's on my C4S and my C2. They were 19/8.5 front and 19/11 rears with a 3" lip. A pain to clean but worth the effort. They just have that classic look. They make a new version called the LMR(I think) That look awesome as well. Im going to look into buying some for the new car after the new year. Enjoy.

Do you have any pics? Love the new ride btw! And thanks for the heads up, and the last push I needed to send payment on the LMS.




and the wheels I have/had are fine, but boring, small, and cheap

yes i actually did miss that... lol. idk, I like the wheels but don't know if they would look as good with the smaller lip/offset. And seeing as he cant run that wide of a wheel I don't think it would work.

[WhoFlungPoo]

LM's or CCW.

Those CCW's are so hot!

They are cheaper than the LM's but at this point, I am set on the LM's unless something changes my mind over the weekend I will pay for them monday. I am considering fully polishing the LM's, or doing the centers white.

gti madness ill check that link out thanks for that man

david a, im doing 19s if I do lms, if I do any others ill do 18s. I did 19s on my e46 and they looked like 18s, i dont wanan make that mistake again (only, this time im doing authentic :) )

the works!! honestly, i dont think the lms flow too well with the 911.

similar to these Work
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk292/BMWNOT4U/vs-tx.jpg

[Silver Phoenix]

Those two rims honestly look identical, minus the center caps and the stamps at the bottom of the Works


Even if you match up where the spokes connect near the "rivets" or whatever, its the same places for both rims

[94JZA80]

[LMR's are] similar to these Works
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk292/BMWNOT4U/vs-tx.jpg
these are Work VS-TX's...i actually prefer these to the LMR's b/c the upper half of each mesh spoke (the "V" part of the "Y" in each spoke) is deeper. so i prefer both the VS-TX's and the LM's to the LMR's.

agreed, bbs ftw

[JRiggs]

spotted a gt2 (or turbo kitted to look like a gt2 not sure) today on ccw's i drooooled all over my windows as the driver kicked it at the light.

lm's or ccw's either would be sexy

19s should look big on it but not huge, or just be that guy and rock 20s

rbmotoring also imports the super RS wheels :drool:

The money clears my bank account at midnight tomorrow night, I told the owner I would send him money on tuesday morning, if I dont change my mind before then, I will be getting the LM's by friday

I will most likely have the LM's fully polished, or the centers powdercoated white in janurary

I need to really detail it after the holidays

Let me know when you need the powder coat ;)

CAN ANYONE PHOTOSHOP 19" BBS LM's onto my car really quick for size comparison, just using the sig???

heres a few quick photochops

too big

[94JZA80]

18's FTW on a Porsche that small...


...not to mention unsprung weight increases and performance decreases significantly when going from 19" to 20" wheels, let alone going from 18" to 19" wheels.

turbo twist painted black :clap:

Agreed guys, thanks riggs for the photoshop you are kinda a life saver.

All the porsche guys on the P car forum said NO NO NO to 19s, I didnt think it would look that big, but seeing that photoshop proves me wrong, they look HUGE! I cant do that, I love the bbs lm's but I am considering selling my car for a coupe either way, so I think at this point, I will be either doing 18" fikses, or 18" turbo twists with stretched tires.

Riggs---can you photoshop the turbotwists and these 996 carerra s bbs wheels onto my car for me real quick?

[.::M::.]

Here are the turbo twists, and the 996 carrera s wheels....


Id like to see these with a little drop if possible really quick for photoshop, to help make my decision

The fikses are nice, I just saw them on a vert, kidna looks funny bc its a race wheel, on a cab

[LDadrenaline]

turbo twists = win

porsche has always made some of the best OEM wheels. Fuchs, twists, the new boxster wheels.... You really don't see that many porsches running around on non-OEM wheels (even if they are running wheels from a different model or generation)

[.::M::.]

here are more of the carrera wheels

[.::M::.]

Very last option, that id like to see if possible, are the RUF wheels seen here.

As of right now, I like the turbo twists, but still debating what to get.

The bbs are just way way too big, maybe keeping it oem porsche is a good thing

or you could get 18" BBS's

[JRiggs]

i just measured it in photo shop i made those closer to 20s than 19s lol i'll work on the other right quick

Package deal was with tires for less than 4 grand, if you can find some 18s with tires I'd get em

[JRiggs]

i'm not super good at the wheel switching i'll try to not make it look like one of those little dub toys lol, i'm good (as far as changing wheels goes) at general ideas not what it will look like. i'll see about making them look less donk ish

i suck at getting sizes right... could it have something to do with throw some D's on it playing in the back ground?

wtf bro you scratched my door when putting those huge ass wires on!
jk :lmao:

the turbo twists look really good imo, clean, and still looks like a porsche. makes me wonder how they would look black ;)

thanks for doing all those for me, the RUF wheels look sick on a coupe, not for my car though, and the 996 wheels, I like them, but they look a little plain I dont know? just me?

[.::M::.]

Throw some d'z on dat bitch!

I for once, actually dont feel the LM's as much as I thaught I would, IMO the twists look better on the vert, cleaner.

Nice purple color lol, there is one color that I will possibly paint my car if I sell for a coupe, and thats the mint green seen here.

[JRiggs]

http://floridagerman.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1276&d=1228158145
i like the mint color


did you notice the light went away in the last pic?

[JRiggs]

one thing you need to remember about photochops (especially mine) is they don't show the depth of the wheels and such. you can't see the 4in lip in the rear which makes them so sexy and little things like that

and remember you can always flip a set of bbs wheels if you found a killer deal

[.::M::.]

Oh shit! I see now, i feel like im doing a coloring book lol and picking out the differences, so much better without that damn light. what were they thinking? I am pretty set on 18" hollow spoke turbo twist 18x8.5 and 18x11 for a nice aggressive fitment


I just looked under my car at the shocks, and they are threaded, the cup that holds the spring into place on the bottom of each shock, is like a nut, that appears to be adjustable up or down the shock....

normal for oem shocks? they could be aftermarket

[JRiggs]

might have been a club sport deal where you get coil overs, i think on the gt2/gt3 they get adjustable ride height for different tire combinations

[.::M::.]

might have been a club sport deal where you get coil overs, i think on the gt2/gt3 they get adjustable ride height for different tire combinations

I dont know much about suspension, but i know if I were to turn that piece, it would compress the coil more, giving me a lower height---that would make sense right?

[JRiggs]

i think without looking at a coilover if the adjustment for the shock mount is below the spring you move it down the sleeve towards the ground to adjust the ride height lower. make a note of how many turns you make so you can put it back to how it was before if it doesn't do what we think it might do lol

[LutzPerformance]

I believe alot of the older Porsche's have adjustable suspensions for the rear, I could be wrong but we have adjusted a couplel 928's and both of them were bone stock DD's. But as he said, def mark your spot before you make adjustments.

[.::M::.]

The car has adjustables all around, all 4.

[LDadrenaline]

when you get the wheels just take it over to vortex. they will put them on and corner balance the car so it will clear and handle better

Keith I considered white twists, not sure if thatd be ghetto or look nice.


RIGGS?! hahahaha

and LD, I would take the car to them, BUT, its on jackstands lol, I will install them myself then take it down and let them fix wtvr they gotta

They have done all the work so far, good guys down there, happy with the service

[LDadrenaline]

well then lift the car up as much as you need to to get the wheels on, but it will have more tendency to snap oversteer on you from raising the rear up until you get it corner balanced. If you drive the car normally you probably won't notice, but if you go to drive it hard you will notice very quickly. I know we raised the rear of my dads car up like a quarter of an inch to get some wider tires on the back and the car was almost undriveable.

I dont understand, your saying the car needs to be raised, as in the shocks, in order to fit the wheels? or your saying after having it lifted for a week, I will need some fixing"?

[LDadrenaline]

im saying its fine to raise the car if you have to... i have no idea whether the wheels will fit or not. but if you do need to raise it, i would take it over for an alignment and corner balance... no you wont break anything, but the rear engine cars are very finicky about weight distribution

will do, but the plan is to lower it more, it rides high as it is

[JRiggs]

just got back to the casa i'll work on white turbo twistys in a few... i might have to toss on some other wheel to give you some more options lol csl's and a drop right?

i don't like white on black wheels. they just don't look "right" in my eyes


o and the and i quote "one lug bbs" ones lol

if its on a car is easier to do since they have rubber around them and i don't have to simulate that, if they are at a slight angle i can correct that more or less

foxy let me fire the big computer back up just for you polk county boys as i know thats your style... might have to wait till am tequila makes it hard to hit the keys

[.::M::.]

Riggs those look nice, I cant help but keep looking at the bbs lms that I planned on buying, I wanna pull the trigger on the twists, but thats stuck in the back of my head still....My favorite wheel, but they didnt look very good on my car, however maybe it was the pic, or the angle???

If I post up a handful of pics of my car, and handful of cars with bbs LM's is it possible to get a couple different angles with 19" lms photoshopped on?

I owe you a couple cheeseburgers sometime lol.

lookin' good...now drop her so she doesn't look like she's on stilts ;)

[.::M::.]

I see the pics, c4s was sick man, but the wheels look small on it for 19s without the drop I think, those fender wells must be huge!

I am on the fence right now, I really love LM's, and everytime I go to pay for twists, I look at them and dont want to be average......can someone take these two pictures and just make the LM's 1 inch bigger to scale so they appear to be 19s instead of 18s?

You know, I sold the car 2 yrs ago and do think they were 18's. I know the width was right but for auto-x I think I did go with the 18's. I got alot of compliments on the wheels. It kept that under stated classic look. My Twin turbo had the 19's. Good luck with what ever you choose. Im sure its going to look awesome. There is nothing like a tricked out german car.

[LutzPerformance]

I dunno taylor to be honest, the 911 turbo we have here, has the HRE turbo twist looking wheels and I really like them, do they sell them for your offset? I think I like that look over the LMS to be honest.

[.::M::.]

I love those hre's but that is a "kustom" "dub carshow" or "sema" type look that only the newer body can pull off IMO. Its either LM,FIKSE or OEM...the others look "racey" which is the only thing I can pull off IMO

the c4s didnt look like it had 19s if i remember correctly. I loved that car lol....

[.::M::.]

Ew time attack is fuggin ugly, seems like silver turbo twists, 18x10.5 and 18x8.5 look the best, 265 tire, ill lower it with the coilovers i am lucky to have considering i didnt know lol, get the rest of my parts in, paint everything and go from there.

[LDadrenaline]

pace yourself with the modding man... you will do everything at once and then be bored of it within a few months. you picked up a damn good car for a damn good price, dont let it go to waste. just enjoy the car lol.

When I got the bmw, I bought most of the mods within 2 months lol, then sold them all for different mods. Trying to do things different with this car, the only reason I am buying the mods I listed right now, is because the brush guards on the side need to be painted, so does the bumper and the reflector if I decide, I figure I can save some money by doing the aero mirrors, brake ducts, and a couple of other parts all at the same time. I am just adding a few mods, and replacing a ton of OEM parts to get it back to "concourse" condition in case I decide to sell down the road for a coupe. I have replaced tons of small parts, plastic parts, bolts, buttons, plugs, caps, etc just to make it clean again
