Because they were very affordable... Bought them used for a great deal ($1100 shipped)...would have loved to gotten 8" or 8.5" but you know...

 

+30 is still a pretty nice offset for that width IMO. $1100 is a great pick up for those wheels. BTW kanchi are those the seibon ones?

 

I see...no hating here, just curious. They're still mega dope wheels. =)

You could have saved up a little more and bought those LM's for $3500...bahahahahahaha!!! Jk

 

7.5 is just fine. 8 or 8.5 is nicer but at the same time alot more money. i think you got a good deal kanchi!! 1100 for 18" shipped is good! hell i'd take it also. lol

they look great like i told you already.

 

thanks!! They are not the seibon editions, just time attack style.

Np, thanks for the <3 bbs arent my style and 3k....nah thats almost a turbo or at least a down payment on a really nice car...

Thanks pete!!!

 

Those TEs look good. I wouldn't mind some in bronze.


Got one wheel apart today. I was gonna write a how-to because I could only find examples for rebuilding BBS RS but I don't feel like it lol.

 

lol dont! my bbs lm write up was a PITA at times to keep up with lol

looks great jon!! dont take 3 months like me to finish

 

Lol thanks man. It takes too much time to stop and take a pic while you're trying to do something. It took me like an hour just to get it apart. It was siliconed to hell and back. My goal is to have them on by April 16th but at this rate it shouldn't take too long. They're getting stripped this weekend and then I'll start sanding. Polished lips and idk what to do with the faces yet.

 

BBS RS are weaksauce anyway...

Candy the faces!!!!!! =D

 

those lips are gona be a _____ to polish because of the holes. GL man!! take your time.

 

Even like a brushed face with a polished lip would be hot. Those are some awesome wheels, in for the win!

 

I'd do a bright color if my car wasn't otherwise stock lol.

Thanks man. Yeah the holes are gonna be the toughest part but at least they're only half circles. I may have to rig something up with my drill/dremel to get the holes to shine like the flat surfaces.

If I don't paint the faces I'll probably polish them since they're just made up of flat surfaces.

 

^^^ drool...

 

lol those wheels cost a grip. starting price is around 700ea

 

Equips should be polished and polished only.

 

this man speaks the truth.

 

nice wheels

 

but most work wheels are about that price each...but its instant ballin status

 

I just spent the last 12 hours trying to get the paint off of them. I gotta buy more aircraft stripper tomorrow. I have a whole new respect for rebuilding wheels.

 

The shop that powdercoated my wheels said that it took FOREVER to remove the original paint...you have your work cut out bro...

...no pun intended. =D
