BBS RA
« on: 28 April 2006, 21:22 »
Hi, when I look through these photos (please see thread supplied), each photo of an oak green mk2 with the number plate J16 DUB seems to have bigger? or different? BBS RA alloy wheels compared to the black mk2 next to it? Is this just me? If they are different, what has been done? I know they are RA's!  :undecided:

They were RAs. He now runs a set of RMs. The old wheels were wider 7.5J RA's that he no longer has as his wheel came off when he was going down a dual carriage way. The rim has been Diamond cut.

I never knew 7.5J RA's were produced. So did he have the whole wheel diamond cut?                                                AJ

7.5s were rare as rocking horse sh!t. No just the rim was diamond cut, it would be impossible to do the entire rim.

Alex, they were 7's with spacers. They were originally from a german spec 3 series, and the spacers were fitted cos he had G60 arches.
