Keep the BBS. The Twists look terrible on any car, any where..... Cup 1 & 2 look way better for that type of wheel.

I've never liked the twists. Maybe if they made RH and LH versions, I'd be OK with 'em, but the fact that they are pointing in different directions depending on the side of the car, they bug me.

Keep whichever set is lighter. They both look good, so you might as well keep the better set, performance wise.

TWISTS!

Okay, that oughta be emphatic enough. The BBS will look dated just like, well......the old gold and silver BBS do on 80's cars.

BBS - more distinctive than the twists everyone else runs.

I've always thought BBS wheels were ugly and rice but those BBS wheels look nice. Either set looks good on your 911.......

You can't be serious ... rice? BBS's are "euro", like our cars. They're made in Germany.
