BBS Sport Design. 2 piece, italian, custom run for Porsche, never stocked by BBS. A $5600 option when our cars were new. The bolts are titanium. They can be disassembled but not rec'd due to potential to ruin. Arguably the best looking factory wheel, unfortunately not the lightest. And definitely not the easiest to clean. But pretty.

What do you mean they cannot be "rec'd". I have a set of these that I was going to sand and paint (not powdercoat). Maybe gloss black.

Thanks.

Just a quick question to WillW, regarding disassembly. I have a set that i plan to refurbish, sand, prime and repaint. How were you able to loosen all the titanium bolts that, from what i understood were locktite'd from factory without breaking one? I guess you were pretty careful and lucky at the same.
Good Luck on the project, and yes they are BBS made in Germany.
