BBS Super RS
- Thread starter EuroStylez

but im thinking about doing few things to them before i get tires, heres what im choosing between if i can sell my other kidney.
Polishing the lips and the centers and maybe this:
option number 1.
option number 2.
both pictures are BBS RS's
sweet wheels. my vote goes to option 2!

yeaa i hear ya! and i love the way they look just the way they are so maybe i'll keep waffle centers stock bbs silver and just polish the bolts, lips and the Hex Caps. And theres always next season to go primadonnas..
next on the list:
1) re drill to 5x112
2) nice wash/clean
3) polishing
4) tires 205/40/18 front 215/40/18 rear but what brand
5) hub rings
6) test fit to see if i want them to be spaced out more
Sometime in April they will be on my car since i want to finish all of the body work first while all of the salt on the roads washes away with some spring rain.

yoko s.drives are pretty much the only summers i would look at unless you really want to get rid of your liver to go with the 2 kidneys for the wheels haha
Nitto gens are a good all season option which are designed for more camber
as far as colors...i love the white face with gold bolts and hex cap....that same thing with black faces would be nasty too

many people been telling me to get Yoko S including RSMark5 but i hear they are not true to their size and i will not have any stretch what so ever :iono:
and im definitely cambering the rears

they are pretty true...check out on tire rack for detailed specs....tires like say falkens are what don't run true...they run small

Really limited by the size to what tire choices you have. Toyo Proxy4's Nitto Neogens Yoko S-drives and Nankang AS-1s are your only choices < $200 a tire. If you get your alignment right theres you won't get camber wear and theres no need for neogens. Proxy4's have brittle sidewalls (bad for lips) and Nankings are an all season. Its a tough call really but its much better than a 215/35/18 which has a much wider selection of tires but is way too small for the Mk6.

Congrats dude... awesome wheels!! Join the BBS club lol :thumbsup:
BTW I like option number one best, that would be a really nice look for a Candy White MK6.

I am not a big fan of the gold bolts... on option 1.. option 2 looks better IMO. +1 on looking forward to the images...

I've decided to keep them silver for this season, but still going to polish the lips, bolts and the Hex caps. After talking to few people I will no longer be re drilling them and will go with so wobble bolts.

Lips and hex caps are polished, bolts are goldened and clear coated.
