Hello.
I'm planning on getting my newly aquired BBS wheels refurbed....
I can't decide between standard silver, or negaro silver (spelling?!) like the motorsport wheel, which I think would look smart against the red paint.

When I had my Motorsport, I put the wheels against a few different cars, and they certainly did not look good on a red car mate 
I would say, if they are standard E30 BBS alloys, get them refurbed at Lepsons and go for the metallic/chrome finish. Diamond cut if you have the

Dave - I got Giles to do this for me and I have to say, much as I like the motorsport wheel look ( especially on grey cars) they looked pants on mine, and black centres look bad as well... I think silver all the way mate.

Thanks for the advice.....
I will probably go silver.
I thought it might look quite smart against the red.....
My car is a bit different from the norm, so I thought I'd try something original, yet different with the wheels.

Nice one Chris.
After just having seen Adams sport on the motorsport style wheel, I'm more tempted to go for grey centres.........
We'll see nearer the time!

It did work mate! Nice.
Is this something you can do?
Would look smart I reckon with light tint across all the windows....how much would this cost?
