    refinished style 42s.. mmmmm

    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.

                      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.

                              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.

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

                                              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.

                                                          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
