Default bbs x spoke 16" or comp mo 18"

this should be interesting;

i have both sets of wheels but can only keep one set ideally as my money tree is almost empty!

i have got a set of 8"x16" bbs x spoke alloys in silver with polished rim which i originally bought for my car but have just aquired a set of white 6 spoke comp mo's,which if they go on my car will probably be painted black or anthracite.

which wheels should i keep
which should i sell

give me your reasons and any photographic evidence to back up your reasons

i hate having to make these decisions

have fun jay

sell the bbs's cos i want them

what car are they going on and what does the outside look like, for most i'd say the MO's (assuming were talking a cossie of some sort)

but the bbs' would look good on the right car particularly if it was lowered

they are going on my black rs500.

and i know both will look great for different reasons.
x spokes as they are quite rare and go along with the original look of the car

but then the comps just look cool on anything.may just put the comps on my sapphire and leave the bbs on the rs500.
its only money!.......
................................but i wanted to leave the standard alloys on the 4x4 cossie-------another can of worms opens

You could have put them on the Saphire that I bought from you on Sunday. Only you didn't have them then.

Thanks for everything on Sunday and taking the time to let us have a good look around both cars.

We got home safetly with no problems.



I will post some pictures of it when I give it a bit of a clean.

That is a tough one.. You bought your BBS's from me as I sold them to fit these!!

this is what I went for in the ends, the fact that you cannot get big brakes under the BBS may change your mind..

yours will have been the 330's lamp chops

i am debating weather to go for bigger brakes and losing the BBS now or just go as big as i can get under the BBS and then having them look puny under the Racelines
