      Aren't they magnesium centers, that kid is just going to fuck those wheels up.

        Was just working on refurbing my KBS shitty fake wheels today using the Polish polishing method.
        My snot contains aluminium now.
        I agree that at car meets everyone has this style (usually split) wheel, but they're not an everyday thing, since most of those cars are garage queens.
        BBS RS were made to be tracked, not ejaculated on.

            I can't decide whether to just polish the spoke face and leave the black paint inside or paint the whole centers gold.

              You're probably right.

              You are correct. They are in fact magnesium centered wheels. And you are correct again. He is just going to fuck those wheels up.

              My only gripe with them was that they were 5x108. I couldn't bring myself to redrill these wheels.

              The purchaser made his intentions known only after the transaction happened. I feel like a real jerk.

                That just happened.

                To my legions\leagues of fans, please don't let my single opinion on BBS wheels ruin your day. A mere subjective take on freedom of expressive opinion was unwrapped earlier, and now has picked up a whirlwind of dynamite spite.

                I am but an observer on the outside looking in.

                    They are only on a few cars.

                    Most E30s run cheapo XXRs or some nonsense like that.

                            BBS weave style wheels, whether 1-piece or 3-piece will always look good on e30s.
                            BMW made more than 10 sizes/4 styles because they look good on all of the cars as well.

                            paying a thousand dollars or more for a set of them is silly though.
