So my new lips and tyres came in. Got one wheel built up, so today I gave it a test fit, here's a couple of photos of it, I'll get more up in a few hours.
What do you guys reckon?
I don't know whether they will be too wide for the front or not...

 

Lower it! Lower it! Lower it! Lower it!
Lower it! Lower it! Lower it! Lower it!
Lower it! Lower it! Lower it! Lower it!
Lower it! Lower it! Lower it! Lower it!
Lower it! Lower it! Lower it! Lower it!
Lower it! Lower it! Lower it! Lower it!
Lower it! Lower it! Lower it! Lower it!
Lower it! Lower it! Lower it! Lower it!
Lower it! Lower it! Lower it! Lower it!

 

What offset did you go w/? Needs to be SLAMMED but other than that I love those BBS'!!!!!!

 

Original offset was +33 but its down to about +20 now.
Yeah I'm saving for coilover's, it is lowered on springs, but they didnt take it low enough...

 

Awesomes....!Need to see a side shot.. Love the RM's...

 

needs to go lower, alot... but other then that looks good.

 

ur off set is too high....get ur centers machined down to a lower off set disk

 

Looks good, need a side pic . How did you paint them? Im trying to decided if I should have mine powder coated or paint them.

 

yeah tell me about it... moneys tight at the mo, really need coilovers
yeah am considering it, how much does it cost to get the offset reduced?
Will get a side pic up in a sec...
I painted them with a rattle can, but I'm planning on getting them powdercoated towards the end of the year

 

do it .....

 

Nearest photo I have to a side pic at the moment...
Will take some more later

 

i dont know yet....it needs a good drop before i can start judging. but i can say this for now, its going to look crazy sexy!

 

Go to VW vortex they have DIY for rebuilding BBS

 

first straighten out your wheel because it's still hard to see how it sits on the car

 

found a place near me that can do cnc offset reducing, so may try it out
car needs a serious dose of coilovers now...
i take it i need JDM coilovers?

thanks for all the comments guys

 

The wheels look good. Too much tire for me. I like the streched look on BBS wheels. But you are off to a great start.

 

Blue version of Eriels wheels.

But like people said, go low.

 

cheers guys

about the tyres, i went with 195/50s just to fill out the arch abit more when i go lower
there is a little bit of stretch on them at the mo, but they are only 7.5 wide so there will never be a huge amount

eriels car is definately my biggest inspiration for my own car...
so many plans for mine, i just need time and money

anyone got any suggestions for mods?

 

So far so good.
You need 45's. Dont ever use tires to fill wheel gap, it always looks bad.

 

cheers ray
i would have gone for 45s but i do like the 50s now theyre on the wheels
i like the little chunky look about them

by the way does anyone know where to get jdm side skirts? and how you go about fitting them?
