Pictures of BBS LM-R

Does anyone have pictures of BBS LM-Rs on a 997? I'm thinking of picking up a set but I'd like to see some pictures of them on a 997 first.

The diamond black version on a carrara white 997 would be the best

Pretty sure Tirerack sells them. If so, you can use their cool feature to put the wheels on the car of whatever color you want for a look. Computer generated but should still give you a good idea.

Yeah, I know, but it will only give you a picture of the car directly from the side. It doesn't really tell you much about how it's going to look in real life.

I like the LM-R but it doesn't use the stock center cap

BBS Center caps > Stock

That being said, I would like to know if you can get the rears in 11". On TireRack they only have them in 10" width but on BBS's website they show up as 11". Other issue is I dont think you can get them in any other ET other than 63 which means you cannot really get much of a lip with them and you are going to need spacers! If you can them 11" wide in back with a rear ET of 51 or thereabouts then I say go for it. Best looking wheel you can get other than E88's IMO!

They are 11" wide, tirerack has the wrong width listed. The ET is what worries me though, and that's why I want to see pictures of them on a car before deciding. I'm fearing they might look weird with such a high offset.

These LMs have the same offset (63), so I guess this is what the lip will look like. Not sure if it looks good or not, I think I want some more lip..

Are you sure those are not the 51ET LM's. I had ET51 LM's on my 997 and they looked similar to what you just posted.

Oh, the LMs are available with ET51? I only saw 63. If that's 51 I don't think I want to see what 63 looks like.

Yes, in order to see them you need to look at wheels for the C4 since TireRack has designated them for the widebody even though they are perfect for the NB 997.
