Mmmmm, that is just shy of 2200 quid, but 16% tax has to come off that.

Still like 'em though.

True enough. Like some of the SRS stuff, but problems with availability due to all the financial problems they are having.

Guess the BBS would be a right bugger to clean. Just thought they were something no one else was running over here.

Yeccccchhh!

Hideously over-fussy, and the offsets on the 17"s are a mile out.

I'll stick with my existing BBS wheels, thanks.

Thought the off set was right at 48 and 55, or have I read something wrong somewhere?

Are you running the 6 spoke BBSs?

I agree with the first part Nick but I think you get hideously over concerned about offsets The "correct" offsets on most wheels seems to be a bit of a no-no when it comes to fitting big brake kits to the S2000.
