Authorized BBS Retailer- all BBS products are genuine.
Brand new BBS RT88 wheels for the Porsche 997 Widebody in 19 inch. This motorsport-inspired wheel takes its design from the BBS E88 race wheel, and the RT88 is essentially a road-safe E88. It is a two-piece, fully forged aluminum wheel. The BBS RT88 faces are forged and produced by BBS Germany, and the barrels come from the BBS LM wheel program in Japan. These will clear carbon ceramic brakes.
We currently have gold in stock, but can order other colors.
What Makes the BBS RT88 Different
The RT88 uses a forged E88 style center and pairs it with a one-piece forged barrel from the BBS LM program. LM stands for Le Mans, named for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where BBS-equipped Porsche Group C cars won in the 1980s. From the curb, it looks like an E88, but it carries full road approval for daily driving.
BBS Motorsport History Behind the RT88
BBS was founded in 1970 in Schiltach, Germany. The name comes from founders Heinrich Baumgartner and Klaus Brand plus the town of Schiltach. The company has supplied racing wheels since 1972, including for Formula One, Le Mans and DTM. That racing work produced the LM in 1994 and the E88 race wheel that so many BMW and Porsche owners chase today.
