Tried a different site for the BBS E26's - still not working. Oh, well. Those Volks sure are nice looking wheels - sure wish they fit our oddball cars...

Watch this video....it explains what I did.....just a little practice and you'll get it. FYI, videos don't need any code on this forum....you just post the youtube URL and it does the code for you.

For HTML links to pages, just paste the link and hit enter and it will do the code to make it a hyperlink.

But for the images, you need the IMG tags. If it is not right, it doesn't post a picture nor the bad code.

Paul,
I used the exact method described in the video, and by you, but here goes another attempt to show the wheels I'm in the process of purchasing:

Still not working. Sorry to be wasting so much space futilely trying to get this to work...

Is anybody else having trouble posting pictures directly into their posts, or is it just me? Thanks.

PM me the web address of the picture you are trying to post and I'll figure it out for you.

Paul,

Got your PM - trying again.



Success! OK, so these are the wheels I'm working with Bob Woodman tires on purchasing, in 17 x 10.5" for my track car. I'm not wild about the gold color the centers of many of these wheels come in, as on the one pictured above, and I'm tired of silver, which is the only wheel color I've ever had. Bob Woodman says they will paint them any color I'd like. Also, I've noticed that practically nobody ever paints the entire wheel on these BBS's - always just the centers. Is there a reason nobody ever paints at least the lip along with the center? Is it just tradition, or is there another reason? Thanks.
