which 18" BBS.
the CL is heavier than E88 by 1.25-2.5 lbs depending f/r

I also use bbs here in Australia, parts not as easy to come by here so i have to hoard them

I only like the deep centered wheels.

Need these.

What sizes in 18 and offsets are suggested. .1rs figment.

Anyone with gold centers on a silver car? I have silver with black accents. Was thinking silver or gold centers. Want to ditch the black wheels. Black accents are ok.

Here's a LOL dirty hack...yeah I have absolutely no photoshop skills... of my color scheme (mine has no graphics) with gold center BBS. I kinda like it.

Any idea if they make a rear with offset so no spacer needed on RS? I need to call Wheel Enhancement I think....
