It was all BBS had left on closeout. I prefer 17's anyway. I'm going to be autocrossing and tracking the car a lot during the summer, so 17's serve more purpose to me.

Waste of BBS' not to be big and eye catching in my opinion.

But to each there own.

Not eye catching? They're GOLD! How is that NOT eye catching?!

Like I said, I had no choice. It was either these or no BBS at all.

Gold looks a lot better than bronze on CSM/SSM IMHO. Good job.

he's right, shoulda went with fuschia.

w/e they look good, and you got them for a sweet butt price. when the price is that low, you can't be choosy IMO.

I like it. Yes a lil lower will look a lil better but i kinda like the simple no spoiler no lip kit look with those rims. Its just different enough to work.
