The Porsche 991 GT3 RS already has one of the strongest visual identities of any modern Porsche. The wide body, functional aerodynamics and centerlock wheel system leave little room for unnecessary decoration. The right wheel should therefore look purposeful, technically correct and distinctive without taking attention away from the car itself.
For this 991 GT3 RS, the answer was a set of BBS E07 centerlock wheels with a custom center finish: brushed with transparent clear coat.
The visible brushed aluminum structure gives the E07 centers more depth than a conventional painted silver finish. A transparent clear coat is applied over the brushed surface, preserving the raw metallic appearance while giving the centers a refined and finished look. Combined with the polished outer barrels, the result is unmistakably BBS Motorsport: technical, lightweight in appearance and perfectly suited to the character of the GT3 RS.

What is a brushed center with transparent clear coat?
A brushed wheel finish is created by giving the aluminum surface a visible, directional grain. Instead of covering the material with an opaque paint colour, the brushing allows the natural character of the metal to remain visible.
The center is then finished with a transparent clear coat. This seals the brushed appearance beneath a clear protective layer without hiding the texture of the aluminum. Depending on the angle and available light, the center can appear light silver, darker metallic grey or somewhere in between.
This is what separates a brushed clear BBS E07 center from a regular silver-painted center. It is not chrome, polished or diamond cut. The surface has a more technical and understated appearance, with the fine brushing becoming more visible when viewed up close.
Why brushed clear works so well.
The 991 GT3 RS combines exposed engineering with carefully selected materials. Its bodywork, centerlock system, large brakes and functional aerodynamic components all have a clear purpose. The brushed E07 centers follow the same philosophy.
Gold BBS centers create a recognisable motorsport look, while black centers make the wheel visually more aggressive. The brushed with transparent clear coat finish sits between these two approaches. It is more individual than conventional silver, but remains restrained enough to complement the original Porsche design.
The polished outer barrels provide contrast around the brushed centers and make the three-piece construction clearly visible. At the same time, the exposed BBS Motorsport hardware adds detail without making the complete setup look excessively styled.
The result is an OEM-plus appearance with a genuine motorsport foundation: special enough to stand out, but still appropriate for a Porsche GT3 RS.
BBS E07 three-piece construction
The BBS Motorsport E07 is a three-piece wheel consisting of an inner rim section, an outer rim section and a forged aluminum center. This modular construction makes it possible to produce different widths, offsets, outer lip dimensions and vehicle-specific configurations.
For the Porsche 991 GT3 RS, the E07 is available as a 19-inch centerlock wheel. Its classic cross-spoke design is closely associated with BBS Motorsport, but the wheel is valued for more than its appearance. The forged center and carefully selected rim sections are designed around the strength, precision and serviceability required from a motorsport wheel.
Unlike many road-focused wheels that borrow styling cues from racing, the E07 is a genuine BBS Motorsport design. This is one of the main reasons it continues to be selected for serious Porsche, BMW and racing applications.
BBS E07 fitment for the Porsche 991 GT3 RS
BaanVelgen currently offers two BBS E07 centerlock configurations for the Porsche 991 GT3 RS. The correct choice depends on the required stance, tyre setup, suspension configuration, brake system and intended use of the vehicle.
| Configuration | Front wheel | Rear wheel |
|---|---|---|
| Standard fitment | 9.5 × 19 ET41 1.5-inch outer lip |
12.5 × 19 ET41 3.0-inch outer lip |
| Aggressive fitment | 10.0 × 19 ET35 2.0-inch outer lip |
13.0 × 19 ET35 3.5-inch outer lip |
The standard configuration offers a balanced motorsport fitment, while the aggressive setup adds width and a deeper outer lip. An aggressive wheel specification should never be selected on appearance alone. Suspension clearance, tyre dimensions and the way the car will be used must also be considered.
Important: the configurations currently listed in our shop are specified for cars with steel brakes. Contact us before ordering for a vehicle fitted with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, aftermarket brakes or non-standard suspension components.
Brushed clear compared with other BBS E07 finishes
The finish changes the character of the BBS E07 considerably. There is no universally correct choice; the best finish depends on the exterior colour of the Porsche and the desired overall appearance.
| Center finish | Visual character |
|---|---|
| Silver | Traditional, clean and closest to a classic motorsport appearance |
| Gold | Iconic BBS styling with a stronger visual contrast |
| Black | Dark, technical and more aggressive |
| Brushed clear | Visible aluminum grain with a refined, understated custom appearance |
The brushed clear center is especially suitable for owners who want a custom BBS E07 finish without introducing an additional colour to the car. Because the aluminum structure remains visible, the finish feels more material-focused than a regular painted surface.
Choosing between the BBS E07 and BBS E88
The BBS E07 and E88 are both genuine BBS Motorsport wheels, but they create a very different result on a Porsche 991 GT3 or GT3 RS.
Both uses a modular three-piece construction with visible hardware and a polished outer lip. It offers the traditional BBS Motorsport appearance and allows a perfect degree of visual customisation.
The E07 has less spokes and its design is visually cleaner and more modern, making it particularly suitable for owners who prefer a modern race-wheel aesthetic.

Why order BBS Motorsport wheels through BaanVelgen?
Ordering a BBS E07 set involves more than selecting a diameter and center colour. The complete specification must work as one system with the vehicle.
At BaanVelgen, we can assist with:
- Selecting the correct Porsche centerlock application
- Comparing standard and aggressive E07 fitments
- Checking wheel width, offset and inner clearance
- Reviewing brake and suspension compatibility
- Selecting standard or custom center finishes
- Discussing tyre sizing for road or track-focused use
- Secure worldwide shipping for complete wheel sets
Our goal is not simply to supply a set of BBS wheels. We want the dimensions, finish and final stance to make sense for the specific Porsche and the way it will be used.
Frequently asked questions
What is the BBS E07 brushed clear finish?
The brushed clear finish consists of a visibly brushed aluminum center covered with a transparent clear coat. The clear layer preserves the metallic grain instead of covering it with an opaque colour.
Can I order BBS E07 wheels with brushed centers?
Yes. Brushed clear centers are available as a custom finish for selected BBS E07 applications. Availability, pricing and production time can differ from standard silver or gold centers.
What size BBS E07 fits a Porsche 991 GT3 RS?
The currently available 19-inch configurations include a standard 9.5 × 19 front and 12.5 × 19 rear setup, as well as an aggressive 10.0 × 19 front and 13.0 × 19 rear setup. The correct fitment must be confirmed against the car's model year, brakes, suspension and intended tyre size.
Are BBS E07 wheels compatible with Porsche centerlock hubs?
Yes. The Porsche 991 GT3 RS application is produced with an OEM Porsche centerlock configuration. Always confirm the exact vehicle and model year before ordering.
Do these BBS E07 wheels clear Porsche ceramic brakes?
The Porsche 991 GT3 RS configurations currently listed by BaanVelgen are specified for steel brakes. No compatibility with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes and for other aftermarket brake systems like PFC must be checked separately before placing an order.
Are BBS E07 wheels suitable for road use?
The E07 is part of the BBS Motorsport wheel programm. Approval and road legality depend on the exact wheel specification, vehicle and regulations in the country where the car is registered. Contact BaanVelgen before ordering if the wheels will be used on public roads.
What is the difference between brushed clear and painted silver?
A painted silver center has a consistent opaque colour. A brushed clear center retains the visible directional grain of the aluminum underneath a transparent coating, creating more variation and material depth.
