    Hell I'd love to have a set of the RX's. What's wrong with them? They look fantastic.

    BBS never did 4x100 17" BBS RS, they can be redrilled though.

    Quite a lot of RS's on sale on ebay.de

    And whether they fit with your brakes, well, it depends on ET & spacer (if needed), and on the brake caliper dimensions (but this you knew already).

    Check www.300mm.de if it gives you any ideas ;)
    good info... I would hate to redrill and basically destroy a nice wheel like an RS. To be honest I dont even thing they would clear the calipers, radially and width wise. I would probably need a crazy spacer to fit the width.

    I have 16" RS's ;)
    you 5 lug?

    Send a private message to AC Nico.....he's been the hookup for some nice, seldomly seen wheels from Europe. He might be able to confirm that what you're looking for is obtainable.

    but did they make 4x100 17" rs?

    People who have them do you think they will clear the brakes?

    I know they are expensive and rare... thats why I must have them...

    Good luck finding them...Good luck finding 16's even. Be ready to pay a pretty penny and start brushing up on your European languages.

    started a topic 17" 4x100 BBS rs?

    17" 4x100 BBS rs?

    Hey guys,

    Did BBS ever make an RS in 17" with 4x100 bolt pattern? and what are the chances they fit over my Porsche 993turbo brakes? Not for the car is my sig but I am swapping brakes.

    I did search but all i found were 16"s and that wont clear even the rotors...
Working...
