Full Version: she's got new rims/tires how do you like them ?
A few weeks ago I ordered some Bridgestone Potenza RE11's for my GT clone.They are 225/50 + 245/45 x 16 on some BBS wheels I picked up a few years ago. They are 7/8 " and I think they look pretty good. They are the same offset as 911 Fuchs so no spacers needed. Today I took her out for the maiden voyage on these tires and even though they have mold release compound on them they stick very well. I snapped a few pics, how do you like the look ?
They go well with the yellow. Niiiice!!!
sweet!!!
nice...tires look good too.
Lookin' good. 
They look great Rick. Glad to hear that you are keeping the clone exercised! BBS are cool!!
Looks good bud.
Are those the Bridgestone RE-11's that TireRack no longer carries?

Don't know I ordered these from a local Tires Plus dealership, took them 4-5 days to get.
Fantastic,love the bbs!!
Rick, I've got some BBS/Mahles 15"s coming for my Spyder. They are presently in Primer and I'm debating doing the Centers in Gold like yours (70's Old School) or Body Color.
I've never been a fan of these BBS wheels but I will say it is a good look on the yellow!

TC in my opinion they look good in body color. I think the OEM gold looks good on my car only because it is yellow. To my eye they don't look dated but on some cars they look dated. I didn't paint mine only becuase when I bought them a few years ago they had already been refinished and I thought it would be a waste to redo them.
Those old BBS's seem to be a love it or hate it thing. Personally, I love them on an old Porsche. They look great.
