New rims on my ride...

[KenC]

Are you sure those aren't replicas? Which model are they?

Real BBS's would have lettering on the inside of the lip. Theyre fake. Very hot, but fake. 8)

Yeah, at first glance I thought they were LM replicas.

But either way, those rims are hot as hell!

Im not sure what kind they are but they kind of look like the RX's but not the RX-II, maybe RX-I? The rims are old like 3-4 years old or something.

Im keeping them as my track wheels. They came off my 97 integra thats why the rims sit so far in the fenders on my car. Once my spacers come in they'll sit right and give me better traction cuz they're light as hell.

Hmm, never heard of light rims providing more traction.

Less unsprung weight, shorter stopping, Most 17in wheels actually slow down a car these weigh less than my stock basketweaves and have more rubber on them so thay gotta help in traction somehow right?

those rota formels look different if you look at the center cap it sticks out and the ones i got are flat.

Re: New rims on my ride...

I got these BBS rims for free!!! My friend is moving in a couple of weeks and he can't take these rims with him to his new apartment so here they are I only mounted one to see what it looks like but i dont know what kind of BBS's they are. Anyone care to enlighten me?
Oh i also got another question would you think these rims would look better silver like they are now or nogaro silver?

pare, are those genuine bbs or rotas?? i'm thinking of installing rotas on my e30, i just dont know if they have the right offset or if i still need spacers. btw, nice ride!!

[B2ThaZiZza]

theres no markings on the inside that say what kind of rims they are but the offset is et42 and the rims are 17in with 215/45/R17 tires.

Definitely a RX replica. I thought that the spokes looked a little thinner than the real thing...

[riverdale21]

I was noticing that too. They didn't look like any RX's I had ever seen. Still good looking nonetheless.

Seem to me like a one piece LM look or something...I think it looks sweet though, BBS should take some notes.

Fucking awesome score, man!

Who knew a replica could look better than the original?

http://www.subydude.com/parts/detailwheels.php?7171032 , the earlier formels did not come with the polished lips, in the philippines you could buy these with BBS centers, actually the rota grids there also come with volk stickers, the ones i first posted were the 16" version with the embossed center caps, anyway awesome deal man
