Right, lad who was to buy my wheels this weekend has backed out.....so going to split the wheels down tommorow and send them off for powdercoating.
If im splitting them down, i could do the centers and dish's different colours, but cant decide what colour to do. Thinking about staying all...
Righty ho, bit of an update for Japfest yesterday. Lowered the rear quite a lot to get it sitting level and flush with the tyre. Considering how close it is, the 300 mile round trip was a doddle. Only problem was going down the small bumpy country lanes. bumps were okay, but cornering wasnt! My...
Lowered the rear alot today ready for Japfest....think its too low as the arch is sitting on the tyre, cant even get my key in the gap! Got 150 mile roadtrip tommor to Japfest so may have to raise it on en route lol
I did have two Bride seats, but i couldnt find a passenger side seat rail for less than £100 so i just left it out. Would have made my own but had already decided to sell them on again.
Got the center caps from ebay, try searching for international sellers, mine were from thailand or somwhere...
Cheers mate :D over the moon with it to be honest, never in a million years thought id get 1 feature let alone 2!!!
Gone for the BBS RC090, AKA BMW style 5's. Pic of them on the previous page i think. They're very similar to RS's, but have a flat dish rather than the nicer stepped dish, but...
Sry havnt been on here for a while, new wheels arrived this morning finally :) Getting tyres removed tommorow hopefully, so can make a start on refurbing them in solid white.
Yeah, actually got another feature! Still really suprised to be honest as its still got a way to go IMO. New look...
Pisses me off when people say stuff like this. Mines jsut as low as this, maybe lower, and ive had no problems what so ever with driving it. I can get into multi storey car parks, get over any speed bump, it can still do exactly what your car can do!
Good start bud, height looks good :cool...
Yeah i think all white will look awesome
Still waiting for a reply about wheel re drilling. Cant fit adaptors as they will poke out too much, so this is only real option.
I think they will look really good, and its an oppurtunity to get genuine BBS's rather than fakes.
Waiting for a quote on re drilling them, hopefully cheaper than adaptors!
The most expensive its going to be is £660, and ive currently got the reps advertised for £600 so its not going to cost...
New idea, genuine BBS RC 090 wheels + adaptors
Will look like that once fitted.
Works out at £660 for the wheels and adaptors needed as they are BMW fitment. Advertised the LM-R reps for £600 so if they sell, ill snap these up i think :) First oppurtunity to own genuine BBS splits that i can...
yeah that would have been me, i live in Ryton so always about :) What car were you in?
Still havnt seen it on the road, want someone to drive it for me so i can see and hear it going along :)
Yeah thats where i work! Always there, most days :(
Found some nice BBS RC's now. 17"x 9.5 so if i can afford re drilling or adaptors ill get them :) and if someone wants to buy these from me :)
No, but then paying £60 for a pair of genuine trainers is completely different to paying £1000 for wheels.
I also know plenty of people with Rota's and never heard of a wheel failing.
Anyway i dont want to turn this into a thread about who's got the money to buy real things or not so lets...
I understand completely where your coming from, but if i was to buy a set of genuine BBS LM-R's, firstly they are only made in 19" and 5x130, and secondly they are roughly £4000 for a set!!
And as for buying second hand wheels, i always buy second hand, these being the only exception. But...
if i didnt buy replica wheels then id be stuck with wolfrace or some other s**t wheels. This way i get the same looks for a fraction of the price, wheres the problem with that???
Cheers mate, yeah was quite amazed i got that tbh! :D
Bored of my wheels now, had them nearly 6 months so time for a change i think.
Got my eye on some of these :) But with silver centers
18" SSR formula mesh reps
