    My car came with 19" BBS LMs, which are really cool and I just learned incredibly rare for our cars, but I've always loved the look of the OEM 18s. I am putting a set of Michelin Super Sports on some brand new OEM 18s next week, and I've noticed there are a couple extra pieces shown on the parts diagram. Specifically parts #7 and #12 on this diagram:

    One is a "wheel protection kit" and the other is a "gasket". Aside from center caps, do I need to order 4 of each of these for the installation? Thanks!

    Thanks Juan! You had BBS LM 19s on your 550? That would be cool if they were yours.

    no, 575.

    BBS in has one spare front in the GA warehouse if you ever need.

    don't let them tell you that you must be mistaken and they are 18"

    the 19" were a special run for some Italian tuner

    Wow, that's pretty cool.
    Well that is pretty cool, thank you! I'll message you directly to figure something out, having the extra wheel sounds like a great idea.

    Love the LM's. Mine came with a set of 18" LMs but I switched to 19" Fikse Profil5's.

    If you are looking to sell the LM's let me know.

    yeah u shouldnt need spacers

    the fronts are a very aggressive fitment

    they are crazy light compared to the stock 575 wheels

    I am actually thinking of selling them, but I also love the way they handle. I'll probably list them next week, but I can send you detailed photos of all 4 if you'd like.

    i had pirelli corsas on them

    i got a nail in one rear and had to replace. immediately after, the car was very twitching and it felt like the rear end wanted to come around under hard acceleration.

    the 305 that i bought was the porsche spec N tire (if i recall correctly) and the other was a Y or something else. same tire, same brand....

    tires matter

    I have the 19" 575 style wheels if anyone wants them. Houston, TX. Will return the car to the stock as-issued configuration.

    No clue yet.

    It's probably a good idea to measure the remaining tread on the tires. I will return the car to stock configuration and will have no need for the 19" tires currently attached to the rims.

    Used tires are usually handy for protecting the wheels during shipping, but that is about all unless the date codes are very recent.
