I have a set of RA's on my car at the moment but i was thinking of going for a set of RS's with a bit of a deeper dish to them? I only really want to go with BBS as it keeps the more factory look to the car.
Can anyone give me any pointers as to what to look out for ie size's widths and so on.
Im not really sure what will fit my car or how wide to go with a 20 to 40 mm drop?
...or if i should just keep the RA's on it and nothing at all?
Thanks

Mint RA's with new centre caps, the correct sized 185-55-15 tyres and standard suspension. Job done.
You won't get any scene points, but you will get a nod of approval from those that know.

I don't think RAs look right on a lowered car.

Just put some RA back on my car after trying to find some in reasonable condition and it was deffinatly worth the trouble looks like it should,only lowered 20mm so works well

My coilovers are going on at the weekend and i'm looking out for rm's/rs's at the mo. Not cheap for a decent set though :( sure ill get stick for doing this to my car too but its exactly that, my car, knowone elses. If you wanna do it, go for it. Wheels and suspension are reversable at the end of the day

RA's look bang on but it's cheaper buying a set of RS's these days :grin:

Well I'm sure there's a little sarcasm there but the point being that RA's certainly seem to be rising in price. Well i've noticed a few ads trying to shift cr@ppy ones for more than the price a decent set used to be. Hanging on to my Sportlines!

i wish :grin:

Would you say that these are RS's

It does, bit too low at the front though no?

RS's or not, that looks cack. :sick:
-
it is a bit too low...and maybe a bit too wide also ??

I think that BBM looks good. Just a pain in the ass to own! I've done the RM route and it's not an easy life, continual cleaning and polishing.
I have BBS RZs at the minute. 7J et24, the sit perfectly.

They look similar to BBS RS, but you can pick up a tatty set for £150 and are easier to clean ;)

They look good, what tyre have you got fitted? No rubbing at all with that offset?
