Nice mate, did you prep them yourself ? I ask because I've got 5 BBS RA's in etch primer and I rubbed then down myself so can appreciate the hard work involved  :grin:

I have had them about 8 months and have only got one done not to a standard I'm happy with. I'm going to use a mates shotblaster soon hopefully, so that will make life a hell of a lot easier

Good idea mate, I reckon I spent about two to two and a half hours per wheel and by the end I no fingerprints and very little sense of humour left. I suppose you forget all about that when there on and looking sweet  :grin:
