I love that.  Those bronze BBS (RI-Ds?) are :drool:

Yabot, bronze and CSG is a winning combination  :whistle:

BBS f1/fi depending where you're from! Inspired by the OEM wheels on the Lexus LFA. Gorgeous set of wheels, especially when on a BMW. I have a soft spot for bronze wheels - looking at a set of bronze ones myself!

Yeahhh, looking good, coming along really well  :cool: 

I like your alloys a lot, but is that a clip on wheel weight on the outer rim I spy??  Nooo.

It would suit black exhaust tips but proper ones as opposed to a layer of grime, that's taking modding on a budget just a bit too far  :tongue:  but if you're keeping chrome badges, not so sure, probably stick with chrome pipes.  But what do I know, my cars just bog standard  :embarrassed:

You need yellow fogs in your life (and bronze wheels)   :laugh:  I like both bronzes but prefer the brighter ones, they're something special.

And xenons next......

No sure what a wheel weight is? As in to balance them? Or displaying the wheel weight...

Yeah i think i might keep the black exhaust... and maybe the layer of grim (student budget  :grin:).

I think i'd probably keep the ones i've got, not sure i want to stand out too much with bronze alloys etc.
Will 100% be ordering those fogs, i think it'll be a nice touch. And yes xenons are going on either tomorrow or sunday so watch this space!  :laugh: :laugh:

Yeah, a balancing weight.  Is that what's on your outer rim?  The adhesive type that stick on the inside of the wheel (preferably hidden behind the spokes) are the most discreet.

No bronze :cry: :cry: :grin:  Your's look sweet as they are  :cool:

Hope the weather holds for your weekend xenon mission  :smiley:
