I know this has been discussed before......but I can't find it.
 They must be 18 inchers. BBS? Where to find? THX,

Eric -
Much thanks. Where did you find the additional pictures? It appears there are 2 different cars - with different front valances, as well as different wheels. Notice the Cargraphic decals in the 1/4 windows of both cars. Are these from the Cargraphic site? Didn't see them there. Ah, wait - here is the US site - with the pics: http://www.cargraphicusa.com/ $4169.18 for the 18" wheels. OMG...

I've had a set of BBS' RX on a car before... I doubt I will ever do that again. As nice as this style of Kinesis, Cargraphic, BBS LM looks, it's the biggest PITA to clean. So so many surfaces, all tight and crammed so you jam and skin your knuckles each time you try to be thorough and reach in there (even w/ a brush)... no thanks.
They look great but kind of like convertibles, once you have it for a bit, you're *cured* of that desire for a looong time.

Craig-
It is probably the same car and they just configure it differently for their different products/pictures. Oh, and the $4169 sounds like the (inflated) suggested retail. Just a quick search revealed these guys, who have them for substantially less. A set of 8" & 9.5" 18's will run you $3618: http://www.gmpperformance.com/products/wheels_tires/wheels/cargraphic.htm I'm sure you could find them even cheaper with a little digging.

mede8er:
those wheels are not the same as the gargraphic or BBS. Sorry to say it but IMHO they look like cheap replicas. (Ducking for cover:-)) Center is diff. and see no. of bolts for assembly of "3" piece split rim.

I have seen these wheels on ebay for BMW's at 950.00 a set for 18 X 8.5 No one ever bids on them. I don't think they look half bad, but might not be high quality.

Sorry to bump a really old thread, but I love these wheels and I am considering them for my white 964.
I notice that the lip on these wheels is pretty substantial. I found this article about the car in question and it says the wheels at 8.5" front and 10" rear. Cargraphic 911 to be on display in Stuttgart | Porsche Tuning Mag Can someone clarify what type of fitment this car has? It's a 911, not a 964, so i'm wondering if you can run more aggressive offsets on these older 911s, hence the fat lips. On a 964, a 8" front wheel w/ an ET45 offset and a 10" rear wheel w/ an ET47 offset is pretty aggressive and nearly flush, and even then, I don't think it'll yield the lip size seen on this white 911. EDIT: Answered my own question with some more research on the Cargraphic site. The fitment recommended on the 911 is "8,0x18 ET21 mit 225/40R18 9,5x18 ET18 mit 265/35R18" and the fitment recommend on the 964 is "8,0x18 ET47 mit 225/40R18 10,0x18 ET47 mit 265/35R18" Big difference in lip size due to offset. The wheels are still hot tho. Last edited by Vandit; 11-06-2011 at 09:11 PM.. |
