G60Rye 0 Posted July 22, 2006 Hi, Just bought these, should be arriving soon! Thought id put a pic on to see what people think of these wheels? Also, should i go silver, black or same colour as the car (Sherry pearl) Centres? Also in need of some adaptors (5x120 to 5x100) if anyone knows of any for sale. Cheers Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted July 22, 2006 BMW BBS rims look fantastic IMO as for the colour I'd have to say black black black on a sherry pearl 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Rye 0 Posted July 22, 2006 Cheers Phil, I know, they are currently silver obviously in the pic, which doesnt look too bad. But liking the black idea tho, yeah. Got brand new stainless bolts for them aswell, so should look good in black. Keep the suggestions coming.... Cheers Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUB 0 Posted July 22, 2006 Mo Fo thier sweet mate I'd do black with crome rims how much did you pay for them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Rye 0 Posted July 22, 2006 Yeah, thinking the black centre route... I paid 350 delivered for them inc new stainless bolts and the centres have just been stripped , powder coated and laquered, still need adaptors and tyres and the rims polishing tho, but thought they'd look sweet when there done and on! My C is lowered about 30mm as its my daily driver, with these on do people think it may need lowering more, to about 40 or 50mm? I know i should get coilys but just cant afford any just yet!

g60greeny 0 Posted July 22, 2006 i was thinkin of buyin these but didn't think they made the adaptors to fit them to my g60? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted July 22, 2006 body coloured centers, deffinatly. and yeah i'd lower it a bit more, 60mm is spot on for looks IMO and not 'too' impractical day to day depending on what size chin spoiler you have, mine was 60mm down with a 90mm spoiler and it only caught over large speed bumps in daily use.

bristolbaron 10 Posted July 22, 2006 depending how long you're keeping them colour coding the centres could limit our market when you sell.. I'd go black or all polished! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
young dub 0 Posted July 22, 2006 colour code all the way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Rye 0 Posted July 23, 2006 Cheers for the comments, Think im going to leave them silver or do them black tho, may keep them silver and then when i get borred with them do the centres black! As you said bristolbaron, my market will be limited when i come to sell them and not sure if sherry pearl will be too light for a centre colour? Oh god, im still undecided! :? G60Greeny- I dont think they do adaptors tho, do they? Just to 5x100 i think. I'l post some pics up when i get them built up and then when i get them on the car.

G60Rye 0 Posted July 23, 2006 Also, what tyres do people think? 195/45/17? or 205 or 40's? Its lowered 30mm but may have to drop it more if its sat too high. Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leec 0 Posted July 23, 2006 ide hav to say black centers. and as for tyres ide say 205/40/17. yokohama a 539 are a good tyre Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted July 23, 2006 As you said bristolbaron, my market will be limited when i come to sell them... looking back i actually said our market could be limited! :lol: I think i subconsiously wanted a cut if/ when you sell :oops: id keep em as they are and then do black/polished centres at a later date.

KARMANN 0 Posted July 23, 2006 Do you know what offset they are? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Rye 0 Posted July 23, 2006 Yeah, i think il leave them silver and when i get borred after a while il get some wider rims get the centres done black and put her on Coilies! ET 41, so with adaptors on should bring it round the et21 mark ish, which will hopefully fit perfect! I hope! Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTartanJudge 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Just wondering if you have a G60 or VR6 mate, if you have a G60 how are you going to fit them to your rado as adapters don't exist for 4x100PCD-5x120PCD ? Have always liked these and think they would be really nice on a rado but potentially only VR6 due to fitment ? Think they would be ace with black centres and the polished outer with stainless bolts, kinda like these ones ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marc c 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Go for BMW nogaro silver centres its like an anthracite and is a bit different from the usual silver or black centres Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted July 27, 2006 My mate is trying to convinde me to buy his wheels (same as these) and colour code or paint them black. Im so tempted as they look fecking gorgeous!!! It wont limit you too much if you colour code, as you can always get them refurbed anyway, or the new owner can. But if you stay black, then youve got the best of both worlds ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
