Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

40 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Any one with BBS REs on their 996? Please post pix. Speed Yellow car would be a bonus Thanks much

POST 2Original post

Mike, are you talking about this one? Very nice.

POST 3Original post

I love those wheels Mike. Had them on an Audi S4 before my 911. I think they would look awesome on the Porsche, I just wanted something different this time and went with OZ'z. For the price they are some of the best looking fully forged light wheels out there.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Dell & CT03911, Yes those ones. Thanks. I heard that they're the closest you could get to the full blown light weight magnesium race wheels. I just want to see how they look like on the 996

POST 5Original post

Mike, Check out CCW wheels. Their C14 wheels look like the RE's, are lighter, and cost less too. I will be purchasing a set after winter.

POST 6Original post

TD have it on his 996 but his car is silver. I'll try to find a pic and post it.

POST 7Original post

I thought Todd had the GT not RE on his silver Targa.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys! I just realized too that I have an awesome picture of them right in my framed collection in the garage, but its an M3. I'm in Canada right now, but when I get back home in a week, I'll scan and post it here. I want to get a new set, but my top PRIs are light weight, ease of cleaning(i.e 5 spoke style) and keeping the track look(not blingy!!) But the track look is hard to find to have ease of cleaning at the same time the LM, REs gives the track look but very hard to clean what a dilema I'm in...eigh The C22 (competetion series) of HRE is very close! Only have six spokes, light and have the track look(I think) specially if I have the centers done in black. Picture below is not the best one Ive seen on the M3s. I have a picture of a red M3 that's simply awesome. I'll scan it next week and post it here.

POST 9Original post

You're right Dell, I thought he had the RE but its the gunpowder GT' RS ones. Mike, I was going to go with the RE's in the beginning with the 996 due to the lightweight factor but I couldn't live without a nice lip on my wheels.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, me too... I like the shinny lips. the Kinesis K-18s are my choice maybe if I go that route so which ones did you get???

POST 11Original post

Go to tirerack.com and put a set on a 996, not so great pic. Works everytime just don't think you can change the color of the car either.

POST 12Original post

I ended up with the Kinesis K28's, one of my favorite wheels for the streets. If I could do it again, I would go with the F110's for the streets. I've seen polished K18's on a 964 RSA and the look is stunning.

POST 16 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

AWESOME Eric!! Do you have a bigger pix? Thanks!! Did you have to use any spacers)?

POST 17 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Vove, why the F110s? I'm curious..

POST 18Original post

Mike, I can't upload any bigger pictures. The Rennlist site does not have me listed as member even though I am paid up until April 2008! I'll send you several by e-mail.

POST 22Original post

The BBS RE's are great looking and lightweight. I bought mine from TireRack. The inner lip of the left front wheel rubbed the helper spring perch of my PSS9's. I was running almost 2 degrees of negative camber at the time. This was cured by taking off the helper springs. They were fully compressed with the car on the ground so I saw no use for them on the road. The main springs were secured so that they would stay in place when the car was put on a lift. The BBS RE's are a gorgeous wheel. They are very easy to clean. The only negative thing I have to say is that they look small on the 996 versus the Carrera 5 spoke wheels. I did not use spacers to fill out the wheel wells.

POST 23Original post

The F110 has a nice lip and they look sharp. I like the simple design with a nice sharp lip, plus it'll be easier to clean. My last wheels were the Fikse FM10's and now with the K28's, I've had my share with cleaning intricate designed wheels.

POST 24 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Agree! My buddy has the K-19s on his 997, they are sick looking with those lips!! Pix below! Vove, how much do the K28 and F110 weigh???? TNX!

POST 25 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

BBS REs installed that I think really looks nice!!!

POST 26 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Eric, If you email me the full size of those awesome pictures above of your car with the REs on, I'd greatly appreciate it!! and I'll post them for you here! Thanks man!!

POST 27Original post

Mike, The F110's fronts are 18lbs and the rears are 20lbs. The K28's are around 21/22lbs.

POST 28 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Talk about light!! //By the way, I just passed by your turf early this evening coming from Canada... man...!!!! that 95 south was horrendous..1.5 hours of crawling

POST 29 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just realized from this http://www.bbs-usa-appguide.com/publ...el_summary.cfm that the wheels on that M3 are CH not RE! But they sure look the same except for the engraving around the lug bolt area

POST 30Original post

if u want one piece forged the RGRs look way better. not a fan of non lipped wheels

POST 31Original post

I know, that highway is always packed with traffic especially for the holidays.

POST 32Original post

those aren't REs on the M. those are CHs which are cheaper and cast, but no less BBS so very reliable, durable, true.

POST 33 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Would love to, but they don't make them for the 996 off sets

POST 34 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Vove, where did you purchase your Fikses from? ~Mike

POST 36Original post

If you want easy to clean with a lip, why not Kinesis K58!! Check my avatar

POST 37Original post

I got them from a fellow PCA member that was down in your part of town, Richmond. They were used but were still in good shape. Paid too much for them used though....

POST 39Original post

Ah, the good old days! The 40th has been retired from this duty to be replaced by a 78SC that is still in the shop getting ready for the track season. I can't wait to get back on the track in February and Sears Point.

POST 40 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Damn Eric, I didn't even realize that that's a 40th!!! I thought you put on a turbo bumper Wow, I wonder how it runs on the track... I've never seen one the track before and I've been to 3 DEs with my 993.
