So I have a hard decision to make as to what I should do for the paint scheme for the BBS RS replicas I have. Should I just leave them all polished since the previous owner polished the spokes but didn't do that great of a job or go a different route and paint them all satin black with a red lip? I know the first pic is the LM ones but if you could imagine the RS with the same paint scheme.

 

Sell them and get some real ones.

 

Nothing wrong with replicas, this has been discussed many a time. The reason we own Fits is largely due to the fact that most of us are not captains of industry. I still have my stocks so your one up on me. What color is your Fit? that may help with any feedback.

 

My FIT is Vivid Blue Pearl. Who wouldn't want real ones, but the only thing good about the real ones are that you are able to change barrels, rivets, etc.

 

^ they are also lightweight, and yes you can customise the real ones with new bolts and lips. the T/A would look cool, but I think it would look real nice if you painted the rim body color (VBP) and polished the lips.

 

If I where u I would do a crazy color combo to match the vbp... I drive a bom with some blue wheels and orange lugs. I'm gotte lots of compliments on the color combo of the wheels and how they go with the car.

 

BBS RS are not that light.

what are they? konigs? you can still take out the bolts on the konigs or buy real BBS bolts and put them in there


you could do white mesh, blue mesh, gold mesh, list goes on.....

you need to check vwvortex to get some ideas

 

Thanks for the pics. I'll see what photoshop can do for me. These wheels are made by Prime style 250.

 

edit: actually, i would colormatch the centers and have chrome or polished 2"-3"lips.
