purple highline monster 0 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 i just got my mits on a superb set of BBS RM`s with like new Fulda 195 45 15 tyres (you all know im a BBS Whore ) anyway i got some 2` inch and 1.5 inch new polished alloy outer rims on the way for them to make them into 7.5j and 8j widths they is gonna be phaaaaaaaat! here they are now.....ove rthe next few weeks these will be stripped (by me).....centre baskets powder coated (not by me!) and the new rims and bolts fitted (by me).............they gonna look mean on the cabby once i deck it on its Bilsteins im leaving the rest as its too rare and in good nick to muck around with, think the rims will make it personally.....oh i love BBS wheels they will be running the 195 45`s when they are done for a nice but not too extreme stretch........cant wait to see them on the car http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/purplehighlinemonster/IMG_03.jpg Link to post Share on other sites

purple highline monster 0 Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 i was gonna go 8j on all 4 but thought it would look (h) and handle better with a staggered set....and if i change my mind i can always get 2 more 2` rims easy enough Link to post Share on other sites

purple highline monster 0 Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Yeah i guess it might look odd..... i would have the backing ring part black and leave the nut part silver (as they are plastic!) and use the original black BBS badges, i have seen a few like it and i thought it looked nice? its just i got to get 2 new plastic nuts as a couple have some lugs missing and the ring parts rattle about if they drop off behind them, i didnt want to paint new stuff incase it got wrecked!! i suppose i can experiment as they wont need painting till the last knockings and i will have a spare couple to paint and see what i prefer,this set up looks nice too though but on a red car it might not? everything on my sportline is either matt black or bright red!

purple highline monster 0 Posted September 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 update..............rims are split down, cleaned and all ready to go to the powder coaters tommorow! it only took me around 4 hours start to finish and i had no grief or problems with the 120 bolts!!! which is a result! i have taken loads of pics of the process and "how to" maybe put a sticky guide up? if anyone was intrerested as the process is pretty much the same for any split rim.[lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1189932011_2067_FT195266_img_0796.jpg][/lightbox][lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1189932011_2067_FT195266_img_09.jpg][/lightbox] Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted September 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 ooooooooooooooooooh shiney new rims are here..left one is a 1.5 inch and the right is a 2 inch should get the centres back form powder coat on Monday by then i should have finished stripping and polishing up the other 113 rim bolts! i have decided to re-use the original BBS stainless ones as i have been stripping them of and signs of laquer in nitromors and polishing them back up, the new 120 chrome ones i got are nice, but the BBS logos on the originals have swung it for me i want these whells to be spot on[lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1190284818_2067_FT195266_img_01.jpg][/lightbox] Link to post Share on other sites
