Default ST170 BBS Wheels

Basically got a set of new wheels for my car, and fitted my coilovers! Wheels are 7.5J front and 8.5J rears, running 205/40/17 Nankangs'.

Reason for posting is to show you all how they look, but also to give guidance if others wanted to go down the same route (as i could only find a handful of focuses with these wheels) and an idea of what fitment to go for!

Not really one for following trends too much but i do love these wheels!
In terms of ride height, leaving it as i sits for winter as it rides perfectly and doesnt scrub on anything i've gone over so far, and especailly this time of year with the terrible road surfaces!

Anyway.....
Fave shot;

You've picked the worst time of year to fit a polished lip!

However, they look fantastic!

Looks nice mate, would be a summer wheel for me though as they will get fooked in the winter in no time.

Thats a perfect 170! The stance is right and suits it with those rims. Ive always wondered what they'd look like on one too.

Cheers! Thought I'd take the plunge and test it! Not too bad! Just struggling to find a nice winter set now so I can still have it sitting nice, and in a budget haha!!
