im on coilovers
they were 16x7 35+ and i was running falken 912's 205-45-16

look at the rim at the bottom left. there is a bolt missing and the others i manage to push back in. they are pretty much glued in but you cant buy replacement bolts unless you buy real BBS hardware. but really BBS hardware is threaded and the ones on the konigs are not

 

lol.. first thing i notice when i went back to check out your picture. so how much higher would my set up look like compare to yours where you have coilovers?

 

my car wasnt that low. i probably could have went lower but at the time i didnt feel like rolling the rear. you might be a little bit higher though

 

awesome all i need to know .. i think.. lol

.....so i should have these wheels before march. ive been searching, and the cheapest i found so far are 630 shipped to my door from jlbmotorsports.com.

anyone know where i can find cheaper shipped??

-thao

 

only way to get em cheaper is to find em used. i bought mine for 550 a year ago from JLB. i sold em for $475 with out tires

 

or you could just not post if you're going to be so negative. way to rep hawaii . . .


i like the logic behind this build. no sense blowing money if you don't like the fitment. not everyone has the cash to drop on baller rims from the start.

 

It pays to play smart

 

thx.. and yea no one would even know the difference. everyone around my area are rocking rotas and sportmax wheels and no one seems to have bbs or and replicas so ill be the first and yea im broke . at least im getting rims for my car

 

I would've gotten these if the weight was a bit lower. Nice rims overall though

 

BBS's cost alot to build up. Mine have cost me around 900GBP (~$1400) so far, and they aren't finished yet. Thats including refinishing of all the wheels, new centre caps, only 2 new lips, and the cost of the initial wheels, and obviously they were used when I got them. I'll be pushing the $2000 dollar mark when they are done.
But they are worth it.
I wouldn't buy replicas of BBS wheels.
I always think that if your gonna do it, do it properly first time.
Otherwise you'll regret spending money on replicas when you eventually want the real deal.

But then again, I would rock replicas if I couldn't afford the real deal. I have thought about it before.
I even thought about selling my BBS's and getting replica's.
Just my 2cents.

 

yup sometimes real stuff isnt reasonable, just make your car nice, who cares, as long as youre not advertising fake stuff as real.. then thats messed up

 

actually you can tell they are fake.



there actually not that heavy. i think my volks with azenis now are heavier

 

true statement.
unless you were talking to someone who had never seen a set of real BBS's.

 

yee they color on the silver is really noticable and the mesh

 

well everything ya'll said are true. and thanks for the input. and gosh around 2 grand for bbs's . wow. lol. i dont have that money now. so yea overall regardless of them being fake or not .. i think its how your car looks like in the end. and i know my car is gonna look fresh with them on.
thx

X2 for that.. I'm savin up for my coilovers and tires now... do u have a ge or gd? And what color

 

If anyone can provide the weight on 16s or 17s that would be great

 

i have an 08 BBP 5spd sport model. both headlights and fogs are from xenithxenon HIDs, 6000k & 3000k. sitting on eibach sportline lowering springs. 15% tint all around w/ JDM OEM slim window visors(best mod yet). oh here are the pictures. never showed my car off because its not much to show. ..on with the ranting..... here it is.
