Cannot find anything online.
Did the 911s ever come from the factory with them or just a dealer install thing? *edit, found a thread on a BMW site that mentions that BBS outsourced many of these wheels to Mahle for a while. ???? outsourced or licensed? hmmm |

BBS effort to supply the 'look' of their classic (expensive) three piece
wheel at a more affordable price. I adapted these later versions from the Audi 200 Turbo Quattro to my VW Westfalia They were OE on a few BMWs and Audis and maybe others but not 911s as far as I know. Often fit aftermarket. Attached thumbnail(s) |
