too hot 0 Posted December 5, 2009 What are we saying about bbs rx2 wheels anygood? anyone got any pics of any on a corrado? I picked up a set of the Anni splits the ones which are 7" wide x16. I need of a refurb but with tyres and will look great on a silver Corrado 8) I`m going to colour the centre a shade of grey or and polish the rim 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coullstar 0 Posted December 5, 2009 There a nightmare to strip down. The bolts are titanium so if the snap it a bugger to get them out. There easy to mask of so I wouldnt strip them unless you have to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted December 5, 2009 I have a set, the same as too hot......which i have already taken apart, had the centres powdercoated and am in the process of stripping the rims/polishing the lip..........and have been at it on and off for months :lol: ......i'll get there eventually as i totally love how this wheel suits the corrado :notworthy: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coullstar 0 Posted December 6, 2009 Nah, bit of patience, some paint stripper and some wet and dry and they come up fine. Thats how I did these ones below. You dont want to go back to metal anyway as they design just traps water bewteen the barrel and face and thats how that all corrode. Heres some inspiration as well.

VAG-hag 0 Posted December 6, 2009 I bought mine ready stripped with the centres powder coated (not the best job so they will be redone) just be careful when torquing the bolts - I did get the right torque settings from BBS but no longer have these to hand.... prob best to be careful and look this number up as the alloy is delicate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSV 0 Posted December 6, 2009 I think they look great in 17" Not so sure in 16" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted December 6, 2009 they look so different!! Definitely 17” FTW! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tedman 0 Posted December 6, 2009 17" single piece rx for me 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Storm 0 Posted December 6, 2009 Mine on RXII's. They are considerably heavier than the standard solitudes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
too hot 0 Posted December 6, 2009 The comparison pics of OSV`s look like lowered on 17`s and standard ride height on 16`s. I didn`t realise so many Silver Corrados were rolling on these wheels!!!! Might have to change my tack now :lol: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted December 6, 2009 its true the pics of mine are lowered on the 17s and stock ride height on 16s. Either way I don't own either set any longer so thats one less silver Corrado you'll see on RX11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D-Pete 0 Posted December 8, 2009 I have the 16" x 6.5" of a golf, grey centres look good with Blackberry. Steve Storm is right tho' they are very heavy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philmo 0 Posted December 8, 2009 they look so different!! Definitely 17” FTW! I think it's the car height that makes the difference?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted December 8, 2009 no doubt the car is better lower but the 17s have longer spokes which makes them more attractive IMO 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
