Default Which wheels - pics inside

Hi guys,

ment to be picking up some forged bbs LMs at the weekend. They're a extremely rare set 17x10 +50 rear and 17x9 +42 front.

I can't decide which to go for or if to keep to a similar sort of style to what I have now..?

These pictures are of a car running the same size and offset on a black one at a similar height to me.








or similar to now, ssr professors/works meister s1 etc

10" foookin ell.

Will need another 30 bhp to keep them turning!

Is that not going to ride quite nastily on the road? Wider stuff seems to tramline more.

Nope, will run 255/225 tyres so will be ok , I ran 235 on my CTR and it was great!

10" is big but also something different

I'm just concerned the BBS look small side on!

Joeh - what's IRL?

The BBS.s look awesome, I´d definitely go for them!

I think IRL stands for In Real Life..?

IMO 10" is too wide and the tyres you want to run will look too stretched.

Keep what you've got, or change to something with 'better' widths and offset.
