Deep Dish Banded Steelies or (replica) BBS RS?
Posted: Wed Oct 09, 2013 9:00 am
Hi guys,
My cars sat on the driveway at the moment whilst I save up for it to have an overhaul. Am thinking I'm going to get some new wheels and bigger brakes too.
Had been planning on 17" BBS RS replicas - would love genuine ones but I know they'd be too expensive for my budget. However I've recently seen some particularly tasty 16" deep dish banded steel rims that I think would look cool too and a similar cost.
Has anyone got much opinion on this? From what I've read the banded steelies will need spacers and likely to need the arches rolled too - do you think I'd need to do this with the 17" BBS too? I currently have the car lowered 35/40mm on Bilstein kit (shocks and springs) which sits nicely on my deepish dish genuine 15" BBS (like the usual ones but have about a 1" dish).
Cheers,
Nick
