I really fancy getting a set of black bbs' with the diamond cut lip. I would like to swap the wheels i have currently on my motor but am in two minds of getting these refurbed or sourcing an available set of bbs' and see if someone is up for doing a straight swap with me. What you guys reckon?

Heres the wheels i got on my ride now. A few scuffs here and there. Lacqeur(spelling) is coming off all of them.None of them are buckled or anything. With a refurb they would look quite sick!

Anyone got any pics of the black version of the bbs' im talking about?

your on about the motorsport wheels I think mate which are actually nogaro silver centres which is like a mid-dark grey colour.

I have a set of 15" BBS wheels here but they are just silver I dont know if you'd be interested?

Oh ok. I could have sworn i saw a set in black at Aces just gone? But then again it was dark.

Nah i dont want to spend any moola on a new set. But if i was to get a new set of wheels then i would be willing to swap the set i have now with the motorsport ones only.

Thanks for the offer though dude.

to refurb a wheel it's between 20-40 quid and if I am correct motorsport wheels arent cheap second hand

you may well have seen black bbs's but they will have been refurbed like that

Do you think its a big ask then to hope someone would be willing to do a swap with my current alloys?

it's likely the wheels you want will be mint or nigh on and if the laquer is peeling on yours I'm not sure they would see it as a fair swop? also what make and size are your wheels?
