Re: BBS RIMS (Tombone)
ORIGINALLY HAD THEM ON MY CAR AND DID NOT REALLY CARE FOR THEM THAT MUCH SO I WENT BACK TO THE Y2K'S. IF I WERE TO DO IT AGAIN I WOULD DO THE HRE'S OVER THE BBS LM WHEELS ANYDAY. THE WHEEL LIP MAKES THE WHEEL LOOK SMALL THAN IT REALLY IS AND IF ANYTHING I WANT THE BIGGER WHEEL LOOK NOT SMALLER.

See what I mean. The wheel lips look so big it makes it look like you have 15 inch rims on the car in person.

Re: BBS RIMS (vettesurfer)
Great picture. Your right it looks much smaller. I compared your picture with the Fullhouse that Hickock makes and I like theres better. Thanks, Tom.
If you know someone who has Hickocks for sale please let me know! :thumbs:

Re: BBS RIMS (Tombone)
vettesurfer, I'll trade you my wagon wheels for those BBS's if you dont like em :lol:
I love those wheels, but I would definatly get them in a 18"/19" setup if I had the option.

Re: BBS RIMS
Thanks for the link. That lip does make the rim look small... That's strange though. I feel like I've seen the BBS rim on other cars where the lip doesn't look so big and the rim looks better...

Re: BBS RIMS (Tombone)
BBS/Mahle make some of the lightest, highest quality wheels anywhere. Many traditionally used in world-class sports car racing. The originator of the "mesh" center section.
However, BBS makes many different wheels in a lot of configurations, e.g. one-piece, three-piece, etc.
Check them out.
All the best. :yesnod:
