New "BBS" wheels on my car
« on: 21 January 2008, 13:50 »
Right, second time lucky..............

Heres the story: i baught some BBS LM's of one of my friend for £1000 19"

i then relised that tyers would be sh!t load of money and they were...... £600 for 4 tyers 35/19. soooooo i wacked them on ebay and they went for £2010!!! (lucky me :grin:) so me being a good friend i gave my mate £200 back and then didnt feel quite as guilty  :rolleyes: so i then went down to my local "tuning" shop and found some BBS RS-GT alloys (replicas) for £540 (not too bad) so i got them, then found some 225 40 18 eagle f1 for £370 new, fitted and wheels balanced (oh and some chrome valve's and caps. :evil:)

so let me know what you all think, and yes i know the red centers look cr@p and some black CF ones are on there way.

oh and goodyears are amazing!!!! ive had contis and piolet PS2 but these are amazing espacially for the price!!!!  :shocked:

I'm not convinced personally, i think maybe they seem a little small?  :undecided:

Like you say though, the red caps definitely aren't helping.
































So i did this:



Sorry, still not convinced  :smiley:

I like em, I think they look a little small at first but after a few looks they look spot on.

Im gonna be honest Joe. I dont like them....
They look better with the black caps... But I think to pull it off you may nee to drop the car a bit...

I noticed your camera made the cars paintwork seem a bit dull so chances are they prob look shinier and awesome on the car in real life.

So I cant say much  :wink:

With the springs and a really nice camera taking the pics I reckon it would look spot on.

In my own personal opinion, I've yet to see anything that looks better than the 18" Monza's.
