BBS RM 012 Rebuild

Hi!

I'm new on this forum (GREAT ONE) and I bought new old ride Jazz 1.4 Sport few days ago. I still own mint EG6 but I have 2 kids so...

BBS wheels (6,5x15 ET33) were ment for EG but now they will end up on my GD1 + some coilovers to kill that wheel gap etc.

Day when I bought them... and not in a bad shape.




But since I'm neat freak I had to do some work...








But that was not it so I decidet to do some rebuild.


Old but not in bad shape.


OMFG!








Old screws...


...and now re-chromed and polished.


And some custom stickers...


...for my new 1" lips - now 7,0x15!




New center caps n' stuff.




Paint combo pack.


Some custom 3D stickers for old center caps.




Here we go.












The end is near! I think candy color will fit my black Jazz just fine.
Now I just dont haw a clue what tire dim. to stick on it 'coz the project was for EG so... I figer it out.

great! thanks for the quick response.
Would you suggest using this polish once every few months to give a good cleaning on the lips OR just use this one time, wash the wheel etc etc..?

I always wash my car with normal, cheap body shampoo. Whay? It's simple. If it can wash your hands it sure can wash some dirt n' dust from the car. No aggressive s**t inside and that's why my EG6 with first paint looks better than newest Hondas.
It also make's fine film so after few times you will see the water won't even stay on the surface of the car, wheels, lips, glass,... perfect! For me!
I wash wheels every 2w. It's not realy washing, 'coz it can't get so dirty in 14 days so I just kinda flush them, bit of shampoo and that's it. Not a spot of brake dust.

But as I see... I will sell them! 15" is too small for Jazz!

Some fast fitment/prev before I buy polished hex centers and stem valves. ET is perfect.








OK! Wheel gap is A KILLER!

Now I have to decide to go with Tanabe DF210, Tein S-Tech, T1R S-Coil or Skunk2 lowering springs but I DO NOT know if those for FIT GD3 will do for my JAZZ GD!.
