[sefb222]

just had these done for my brilliantrot coupe.


disassemble, clean up the bolts, sand and paint centers, polish lips..

centers are more of a gunmetal grey than the pic would suggest.

more pics as soon as i get them mounted... 17X8 all around. tire suggestions?
im thinking 235/40/17 yokohama s-drives... thoughts?

I LOVE those red BBS centercaps, they really finish off the wheel. I wish I could find some of those for my ACT weaves.

I hope thats either a typo or sarcasm

[M-technik-3]

Wow that is expensive, vs new how much for the centers?

[sefb222]

I hope thats either a typo or sarcasm

neither. 100GBP for the centers. i wish it were a typo.

i ordered them thinking "oh.. damn. 50GBP for centers? a little steep. but, fuck it. they will look sick"

then they arrived, and in the package were two centers... so i re-checked the listing, and it said "pair of bbs red centers 70mm".

damn. "pair".

i missed that.

so i was stuck buying the other two. :(

now i has 4.

That looks awesome but that is way too much for a set of center caps to me.

[VacMan]

That's not too crazy. PureMS.com has them for ~$18+$6 each. Add shipping and tax (CA resident) and you're over $100US easy.

did you get centering rings already too?

[sefb222]

did you get centering rings already too?

nah... "tire factory" on se 82nd usually has them in stock. i suppose i should secure a set, asap, tho.

[sefb222]

ps... Daniel, what size tires are you normally running on your various non-e30 wheels?

[e30_325es]

Those look hot man! I'll put my recommendation on Eagle f1 asymmetric's. That's what I'm running on my rkII's in the 235/40.

[Dagamus(NM)]

Offset?

[sefb222]

offset?

et20

[Dagamus(NM)]

Sweet wheels, are you on e30 m3 five lug?

I have the rondell knock off of those at a +35 offset. Mine rubs to the point that a full tank of gas and a passenger will knock the mt2 panels out a bit breaking the little plastic rivets. Somewhat obnoxious, I'm on e36 m3 front, mcoupe rear. I wish they were +40.

I'm already running stretched 215/40's
