Cool, I've got them now! Can I use the bolts off the steel wheels to put them on my car?  :undecided:

I'm not convinced they are genuine BBS RA's tbh. Do they have BBS stamped into them around the centre?

Yup they do indeed. I have them on my car right now with the original bolts from the steel wheels but i'm not sure that they don't need different bolts.

Those bolts should be fine i think, just make sure they're long enough as i swear i've read some BBS wheels need longer bolts than standard  :undecided:

What size are the wheels btw, i still think they look slightly strange for RA's!  :laugh:
