Man me and my impulse buys!! Picked these up yesterday

BBS RZ's normal dish on the front and massive dish on the back, rears are 15x7 et 20, fronts are 15x7 et 24.

Nice!

Still reckon a satin gold finish would look sweet against your car.

Yeh I'm toying with that idea, also toying with whether to sell these on or not and stick with the other set of wheels i have laying round in the garage (dished mahle style wheels).

Personally, I'd go with whichever set don't require spacers.

Ignorance is bliss! There's no way I'm removing my windscreen and I don't want to know if it's rusty underneath and if it leaks water it doesn't matter as I'm keeping it garaged!

I'm sure it will be fine...

Mobster I'll defo keep you posted if I decide to sell.

i say paint the centers in cream! and then use the BBS not the mahle's.

You and your cream Tommi!!

I'm swaying between 3 sets of wheels (talk about selfish!) the BBS (which will need spacers and centre caps - not hard to get), the retro mahle style wheels (perfect offset 15x7 et12) or sticking with the mims I have now!

I think one day I'm gonna get em both refurbed (mims are already in perfect condition), put them all on one by one to see which I like!

well i dont really like mims, BBS are the best in my opinion, i mean think how many cars out there use BBS - hundreddddddsssssss and there are loads of different bbs designs so every one is a bit different. its a shame they have to be spaced though, i think use the BBS try em on, if they wobble cos of spacers then atleast you will know,

Zan, whatever you do, dont paint the wheels, in my opinion they will look silly. If you decide to keep them, get them refubed and polished....they will look stunning or better still, sell them to me !!!

polished lips look better with darker centers

Yeh there's defo a lot of options, though I personally lean towards the more polished/normal silver look, I may change my mind down the line though.
