Which Wheels for my car? & why?
 

I've got two sets of rims and I can't decide which set to put the new street rubber on, so I turn to all of you. The pole is how I view them; which set of rims do YOU think looks better on my car? For all intents and purposes, they are exactely the same in size, offset and weight, it's a personal choice so explain why ;)

BBS - 17x8 & 9 +35

Works - 17x8 & 9 +35

Is it just me or are they basically the same wheels? Maybe have weight decide? The lighter wheels go to track use, heavier for street use.

Work :icon_tup:. I think they look bolder and more aggressive, with a touch of class. Oh, and they're also mad tyte JDM.

Can we add a 3rd option - "Neither, because I'll leave my FC at home so others have a chance to win the FC category this year"???

But seriously, I voted Works, BBS is nice, but you should just sell 'em and go for a bit different style and higher offset for race slicks.. not to mention, those works would be a pita to clean after a long track day! I do see your dilemma though as both are awesome...

No other reason than the Works are just better looking IMO.

works look better.

Basically the same wheel. I've always LOVED that style, looked for like 6 months before I found the BBS's bought them instantly. A few months later the Works fell into my lap so I bought those as well figuring one will be for track, the other street. It's about the biggest you can get into an FC without going for oddball RE:Expensive rims.

They are both about the same weight, withen a lb or two. The BBS's sport titanium rivets.

Cool, I agree - bolder, more aggressive I disagree with the touch of class though, I think the BBS's are more classic, classier, etc etc. Bryan @ RotorSports Racing complemented the BBS's last year @ DGRR which is one of the reasons I'm hesitant to put them up for track use...... I guess they'll find a home on the FD :D

Work.

they simply look better.

:suspect: why do you think the pole expires in 7 days.... need time to mount the new street rubber on the best looking, most popular rim and get down there ;):driving:

Thanks Bill. I think I'm probably going to join the bandwagon next year and rock some RPF01's for track with a dedicated A6, unless someone can point me to a lighter/cheaper rim, which I still might get this year. We'll see how busy we get and if I can justify it. I think the BBS's would look better on the FD as well just becuase of the lines of the car. Although I CAN fit a bigger rim on the FD.... sigh, we'll see. I'm never going to sell them though. I put ALOT of effort into getting them into the shape they're in now and I waited years, and searched for months, so they will rot with me ;)

WORK. They look the same so I assume it's about the brand...Works > BBS?

Thanks man, what size are those SSR's? Fitment looks spot on, love it

Thanks man, what size rear are you running? I know you did a wider fender in the front.

bbs, because i cant afford them

The two real differences between the rims are the spokes and the center of them.... they are very similar. I do love the style of them just can't really decide between the two

I actually paid more for the Works. The BBS's were for an OEM Porsche (I believe) back in the mid 90's, cast/used in Europe. Somehow they made their way stateside.
