    everyday bbs rs's

    We all know how good bbs rs's look when they're in showroom condition, but I want to see some dirty rs's on daily drivers to get a more accurate impression of what these wheels look like in real life.

    They are like every other basketweave rim... there is brake dust in the spokes and the lips are pretty dull looking.

        dirty, but who cares? I like them enough that I'm willing to keep them clean. once every two weeks is enough for them to look good.

          put some pics up dammit.

          how much care is required to keep the lips polished?

                here are mine on the M3. they are a pain to keep clean but I wouldn't change them for anything.

                P.S. - It helps to have a dremel with a polishing tip to clean inside the spokes.

                  those are fucking hot too. What size are those? Is it possible to clearcoat the lips so they stay polished?

                    mine are 17"s, I'm not sure if the lips are cleared or not. I just hit em with wax whenever I wax the car, it keeps the dirt and brake dust from really sticking.

                      are those kodiak lips? and whats the width of those? I'm really interested in getting these wheels eventually. The size of your wheels looks like a perfect fit for the wheel archs. Any other pics from different angles?

                        I don't really know what kind of "kodiak lips" you are talking about. Mine are just the 3 piece bbs rs1's, but here are more pics of the wheels at different angles. Hope these help

                          This is a stupid question, but if I happen to find a 15 inch bbs rs, can I change it to a 17 inch by changing the lip?
