new wheels options

[rogers]

i really want to get a set of new rims,

its gota be different, and 17" to clear my brakes

i started looking for staggered sets something like 8.5 rear 7.5 fronts and not really had much luck in that form i would like spilt rims too,

i do like bbs lm's im willing to pay for quality but 2500grand for a set seems expensive considering you can buy a replica set for 500quid,

has anyone bought or used replica wheels? are the replicas two piece too?

my plan is to either to have which ever wheels i buy powdercoated or painted to look different

and if there replica's buy genuine centre caps

any suggestions on colours? ideas etc?

BBS lm's are not split rims. The quality really depends on where you get them.
Here in the netherlands, they sell 2 types. The chinese replica's and german replicas.
The german ones are fat better in quality.

As for the rest, the centre covers are slightly different, but imo LM's are absolutely sick.

get them!

just remember how Nogut's red looked!

phil your more than welcome to try them and see, they got 4 brand new tyres on them! litally done 500mles if that

i thought genuine ones are 2 piece mins, i must be wrong

just re-read my post and it was meant to say: the BBS reps are not split rims.

plus it had to say far instead of fat lol
