Wot r these wheels and where can i get them?

[Guest]

hopefully u'll know which ones i mean, gazza325cab has them on his and i think geeman has them on his track car. They look to me like bbs but with dar grey coloured spokes, just wondered wot their proper name was or if infact they had a proper name oh and where i could get them.

cheers

They're just BBS... Gazza's are the motorsport version, which came with the centres in nogaro silver, & I think Giles just painted his...

Yup, it's like Photoshop, only getting off your arse first. ;)

Nick's done his gold... Looks well sweet on a white car.

I'm not doing anything to mine until I move the girlfriend to a nicer area and find out how long I'm banned for.

ok kool, not sure id have the confidence to paint them myself tho. or the money to buy a motorsport set, r they hard to find in that colour? no replicas available?

[Ziggy]

Yeah, Nicks do look sweet don't think they'd work on many other colour cars though... think he took the gamble when he got em re-furbed.


& be positive dude - it *won't* be that bad

Yeah they're far from common, & cost a lot for what they are. TBH you'd be best off just getting some standard BBS painted up even if you're not gonna do it yourself!

I had mine painted up with black centres and silver lip and nut. Cost Ԛ£50 a wheel with a full refurb at the same time.

The problem you find is that if the wheels are painted rather than powder coated then they do get stone chipped quite quickly. But powder coating is more expensive and harder to find places that do it.

Omi - what happened dude? Are you getting banned?

As Ziggy says,

Get a set of normal BBS, and get them refurbed, just tell the guy what colour you want the cross spokes, only thing is you won't be able to spray the rotating locking nut, that you should be able to buy from the dealers direct, not sure how much!
