Do they sell lips? Checked their website and found reference to them, but they didn't have any prices or anything? Any ideas how much they are?

I got them for a great price though

I'm on the lookout for 2x 2 inch lips for the rears now though, want the uber staggered look!

what are the standard lips? 1.5"?

Silver Surfer · Post by **Silver Surfer** » Sun Jun 06, 2010 3:37 pm

Thanks Dannyboy I'll check them out.

340i, the standard lip is 1.5". I may even go to 2.5" dish for the rears. Must admit the standard dishes do look very nice as well, just that ...

... well I've always wanted to have the staggered look

Hard days graft of cleaning my wheels. Also, fitted the custom centre caps I've had waiting for the day I bought these wheels

sad I know..

Missing one hexagon cap from the last wheel, if anyone has one to sell please let me know!

Also scrubbed up and fitted the new centre caps on the BBS RZ's, gonna properly put them up for sale now

Looking good n shiny

Thanks Hannah.

Been getting some quotes on 2.5 inch SS rear dishes. Called Justmatz and they have a price of £140 plus vat for stainless steel rear dishes so may go for them, also checked a place in Northern Ireland who are supposed to be cheap for radinox SS rims, he's gonna call me back with a price.

Question is would an 8 inch rim fit ok within the rear arches or would there be some rubbing? If there would be rubbing I'd prob revert to 2 inch dishes for the rears.

Centre nut is looking like it's gonna cost me about £50 which is not too bad.

hi mate, long time no spk i yhink those wheels are the dogs & by far the best rims for our cars imo (just breaking the kids piggy banks

)

the rubbing issue i think its all down to the offset i was told by zuggi of retro rims germany you could have 9" at the rear as long as the offset was right, i know tommi knows all about +& - offset

are yours 15s or 16s?

........ayds

Silver Surfer · Post by **Silver Surfer** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 3:58 pm

Hey Aydin, yeh mate they're 15's (not 16's as we discussed that day

) but I think they'll drop nice enough, the price was too good to keep hanging on for 16's. Truth be told I wasn't even looking for wheels yet I just stumbled upon them!

Did a bit of research apparently with the 2.5 in lips the wheel would end up being an offset of 18 (which would still comfortably fit withing the arch). I hope this is the case...

started doing research in to the fetish-esque world off BBS RS damn there's so many things to consider with bolts, valves etc I see now how people like Rav get hooked on em! I'm looking for one centre cap, which has led me to thinking about getting flush centre caps (not the raised hexagon thing you see at present) may even look in to getting them machined or something!
