i love this pic. i'm assuming that reddish car is a spray bomb... looks like a good one though. ive always liked that matte effect that you get from spray bombs, i'd consider doing it if i knew how to prep the paint first.

My BBS knowledge isn't as great as some, but i believe they are RS's. These are available in a number of fitments and are scattered all over the globe. To find a good set I would think even higher than 2k. At least if not outright price for the wheels, the possibility of adapters.

Yep, BBS RS! The one on the maroon looks like 17s... could be the RS301, which Matt (OEM G60) has on his Corrado at the moment.

They range in price, depending on condition and model.

The RS on the Maroon VR are 301's (7.5" x 17" 5x100 ET33). Only 200 sets of 301's were ever made so they are pretty hard to find, and don't come cheap too often. best place to find them is www.ebay.de
There are other fitment 17's, Porsche ones are mostly 16" but they did make 17's, lots of Japenese fitment 17's were made, still hard to find, some can be filled and redrilled or work with adapters.
My 301's were sent over from Ireland after i put a wanted ad up on www.edition38.com.
And yes, they look awesome on a Mk3 !!
