BBS project FINISHED

[intensem1]

Well guys as you know I have a few BBS.

Thought Id share the set, which I've just finished pouring heaps of time into some 15inch BBS rs which are destined for my sister’s convertible, not for kissing gutters.

Anyways specs are 15x6.5 et17.

Been split, polished and painted. All 120 bolts polished individually and reassembled. Giving the result below, which I’m very happy with, all that time and mess has paid off.

Bolts waiting in line to be polished.

sweet sweet things.

They look bloody wikid. Nice dish for such a skinny wheel too, wikid.

How'd you polish the wheel bolts ooc?

So... When are you going to polish them and clean the paint up?? j:



Very nice dude. Very, very nice.

[Lorenz]

Damn they came out well Alex, you've done a fair bit in the past few days since I last saw them!! Wanna do mine now :) ;)

[rayray086]

Very nice Alex, big inspiration to do mine!

[VR6child]

Those are absolute peaches. What car are they going on i'd be very interested to see the final result. Excellent work - I've got the same wheels except different size, this is the inspiration i need to get them all shined up :)

[OEM G60]

Very nice, can't beat a set of freshly rebuilt RS' :)

How did you polish those bolts up?

[Mrk_Mickey]

Mate that's some fantastic, jaw-dropping work you've done. I'd say I was proud of you, but that's what a father tells his son or a priest tells his alter kid.... *ew* j:

[GoLfMan]

nice one Alex :)

I bet that took some elbow grease! fantastic result!

[WEDEL.1]

They are terrific! Great job!!

Cheers guys for all the compliments. It took some patience and a few sore fingers damn spokes.

As for the bolts, I polished all 120 on the buffing wheel with rouge/buffing compound and then waxed the lips and bolts once assembled.

[Mrk_Mickey]

What polishing stuff did you use ?

[mikinoz]

Im interested in the wax you use?

[gareth_oau]

can I strongly recommend you run the brakes without pads, that way your nice sparkly wheels won't get all dirty

[intensem1]

I used the same buff and rouge on all of it. Then some mothers metal polish and finished with some Meguiars car wax.

If i keep them waxed and washed weekly they should keep their shine. But that’s up to my sister now, wishful thinking.

I got these fitted yesterday, really happy with the end result. Here are a few pics. Sorry it’s not VW guys.

That's your sister's car?! Respect!

[Jarred]

big tyres so she doesn't scratch the rims, nice one!

wheels look great!

[Lorenz]

Looks awsome Alex, your sister is pretty lucky! Nice 325 vert from her brother along with a set of mint blinging RS.... she's single yeah?? :)

[intensem1]

Cheers Guys, I bought for her to drive so that she stops driving mine, I also wanted a nice summer cruiser. She loves not having a roof and knows to stay clear of gutters.

Tyres are what was recommended for an e30 so not to compromise ride etc. But In the future Id like to put 16inch BBS rs on it. Just hard to find them.
