Cool wheels. I almost bought a set of the mesh-like BBS's (there's a dealer selling new sets for under $2k on eBay), but stumbled across a super deal on the Gemballa's I'm now running. Definitely lighter than the stock wheels.

The wheels only are $895 and listed as "2004 Porsche 2pc Forged BBS LM1 Style Competition wheels"

They look like the real deal, but I haven't seen them in person. I was going to buy a set ($1,700 with tires), but went with the Gemballa's instead.

The operative word there is "style". Those are not genuine. Genuine ones run about $1,000 per wheel now.

They're just BBS LM "style". There's a set of used genuine LM's (with tires mounted) auctioning for about $2600-2700. Considering LM's run 900-1000 per wheel now, it's a great deal if anyone's interested.
