British Racing Green bodywork, gold BBS wheels and the clean silhouette of a GT3 Touring: some combinations immediately feel right. For this Porsche 992 GT3 Touring, BaanVelgen fitted a set of BBS RT88 wheels with gold centers and polished outer rims. An Akrapovič exhaust adds another distinctive detail at the rear.
The result brings classic BBS design into a modern Porsche GT build. The intricate wheel centers draw your attention first, while the bright outer rims pick up the silver window surrounds. Together, they give the deep green bodywork a warmer, more traditional sports-car character.

Why the BBS RT88 suits the GT3 Touring
The Touring’s uninterrupted rear profile gives the wheels a particularly prominent role. Seen from the side, there is a clear visual connection between the rounded roofline, the rear arches and the stepped outer rims. The RT88 adds detail to that silhouette without overwhelming it.
On this car, the gold centers remain clearly visible against the dark green paint. The polished rims define the outer edge of each wheel, while the exposed assembly hardware adds a mechanical detail that rewards a closer look. It is this combination of proportion, color and construction that makes the finished car work so well.
Two-piece forged construction: the E88 and LM connection
The BBS RT88 is a two-piece forged wheel. It combines an E88-derived forged aluminum center with the original forged LM rim from BBS Japan. That combination explains its distinctive appearance: a motorsport-inspired center surrounded by the recognizable stepped rim associated with the BBS LM.
Here, those details have a clear visual purpose. The open spoke pattern gives the wheel center depth, while the polished rim creates a bright border against the tire and green bodywork.

Gold wheels with British Racing Green
The finish is central to this build. The gold centers introduce warmth, and the polished outer rims keep the wheels visually crisp. Against British Racing Green, the combination feels rich without needing additional contrasting colors elsewhere on the car.
The rear-wheel detail shows the relationship especially well: green bodywork, a gold center and a bright rim edge, all within a small area. It also shows why choosing the center color and rim finish together matters.
BBS offers several gold shades alongside silver and black center options. If you are comparing colors for your own Porsche, our BBS RT88 finishes guide explains the differences between center colors and the SLD and BKBD rim treatments.
Akrapovič exhaust: the finishing detail at the rear
This GT3 Touring also features an Akrapovič exhaust. The twin round outlets sit centrally beneath the rear bumper, adding a metallic detail below the green bodywork and dark lower trim. In the rear three-quarter view, they complete the composition alongside the polished wheel rims.

The completed GT3 Touring build
Our favorite detail is how the wheels connect to the rest of the car. The polished rims echo the window trim, the gold centers lift the green paint, and the Touring silhouette gives both room to stand out. From a distance, the color combination makes the impression. Up close, the RT88’s construction provides the detail.
