As many of you zoners remember my thread about finding 4/100 17" bbs splits, and there were very hard to find, and then you guys mentioned about Image 3peice splits. I ordered these 8 weeks ago and i got these delivered today, so its kinda like an early bday present as my bday is on friday.

these are staggered and custom built to every mm for my car. arch clearance. brake clearance, dish etc etc.

My whole reason for sticking with 17" was because i like my cars low. very low. and i didnt want to raise it or go to a 16" and have arch gap.

let me know what you guys think.

somewhere between £300 and £350 + vat, each, for 17in split rims depending on width.

cheap compared to what a brand new set of bbs splits will set you back!
cheers,

Lol kang. It was a big hit bro.

These wheels cost me a total os £2200 inc tyres. Nice hole in my pocket. But i thought i would treat myself.

I wanted rimtuck rather that rimpoke as is runnings static.

If i had airide then defo would have had rimpoke

I was like a little kid waiting his present for the past 8 weeks.

Ross i didnt know you use to do that. Mine are the cast wheels. My mate has just ordered the billet. They are more expensive that the cast.

I can get as many sets of porsche centre locks as I want for the right price. And also some centre lock adapters made for the right price.

And it's still way out of my budget :(

Them image wheels looks awesome, can't wait to see a shot of the car :cool:
