Evora on BBS RS

What do people think about Evora on BBS Super RS?

Coming from classic BMWs, I have a soft spot for BBS RS. But the RSs are too small for Evora. Maybe Super RS if they have the right size? Searched on the internet and it seemed none have tried Super RS. In my personal opinion, if the sizes and offsets are right, they will look really good!

The only car came close is this Exige:

BBS wheels don't seem to be a thing, at least for Evora owners. I did find a guy with LMs on his Evora. Doesn't look as good on an Evora as other wheels or when on various German cars.



As someone who used to be a huge German car fan, it's been fascinating getting into the British car thing. Still though, I never owned a car with BBS-branded wheels. They were always too much money for me.

I saw this one on BBS LM. It is a fairly recent build.
It is very much a personal taste. BBS RS pairs well with older cars. But I love the style. HRE 501 is a similar looking wheel.
