BBS or Turbo Twist?
I am going to keep one set and sell the other on EBAY. What do you guys think?
  Both sets are P-zero Assymetrico with at leats 80% tread life remaining. Please refrain from 996 bashing!! I also drive an SC.

I prefer the twists: cleaner looking and easier to clean

Keep 'em both! A rich 996 owner like you shouldn't have a problem hanging on to both sets.

They look like OEM Sport Classic II's NOT BBS
I believe they're OEM Sport Classic II's not BBS and I personally like those better.

BBS. Period.
Twists look too....uh..stock. Most 996s i see look like they did the day they left the showroom. At least the bbs adds a little 'enthusiast modified' look. (a good thing) mike 86 coupe

The BBS/Porsche wheels set your car apart a bit from the rest. The 'technology' wheels are a lot more common and there are cheap replicas everywhere.

SCII/BBS. Friend has them on his black 996 turbo and they look great. Twists look good but I seem to see them on everything down/up to including VW's.
