Need new wheels....ideas??

Post Wed Apr 15, 2009 8:31 pm

Guys I want to replace my 14" BBS but not sure what to do.

I want to keep the car as unmolested and standard looking as possible.

I was thinking of some Ronal LS's as the center caps lock or just some 15" BBS. But they are such a pain to clean so any other ideas...

Keeping it looking as standard as possible, Hartge's, Alpina's or BBS

Thanks guys..

I do really want BBS but Im not sure if I can face the cleaning... so might just have to check out some Hartges.

Not had much luck finding any on line as yet though.

Hartge's are not the easiet set of wheels to find, good luck though

I prefer Alpina's

Genuine pinas are even more 'spensive then hartges though arent they?

15" BBS

tbh they are very easy to clean, ive had all mine professionally refurbed so not sure if the new laquer/paint on them helps the dirt clean off easier but i just go over mine with the power washer and they come up like new again in all the nuts and crannys

No mate, they should go straight on.HTH

Not bad at the price.

Post Fri Apr 17, 2009 11:56 pm

no they do look pretty cool and im sure 16" will look miles better than the 14" BBS I have now

Good ride quality too with 16's, as they are the recommended wheel choice by quite a few people including me.

All Im worried about are those caps going for a walk.. I have already lost a hardtop this year and I bet those caps are hard to get hold of. They do look really nice and much easier to keep clean.

Just sent the guy an email to see if they are still for sale. thanks again Rav

NO probs mate.
I read about your hardtop going walkies, i've got one too and keep an eye on it most nights, even replaced the battery one morning at 2.00am, my wife thought i was loopy working on the car at that time, lol and probably the neighbours too.But needed to make sure the alarm was working.
