Default 16" BBS RS re-refinished with pictures

My original plan was to paint the lip with bright silver/chrome paint, but as it turns out that stuff gets eaten up by clear coat. Whoops. I ended up redoing them with bronze over black base and some clear coat... they look fantastic (even better than the pics)

Those look nice but they are not BBS RS. They look like the Mahle BBS

you can order new caps. you need to find out what the center size is and order the cap acordingly. there like 50$ for the set of caps but you can get red with gold lettering.

Those has to be a PITA to clean. Sweet restoration, though!

i use a generic nylon wheel cleaning brush from kragen that i bought for $6 and it works beautifully, never takes more than 30 seconds to clean the entire wheel face, mesh and all...


those wheels in that color scheme look badass, cant wait to see them mounted
