Thanks for the compliment, they're Gram Lights 57 Pro's though :)

18*10 (+50, but with an 8mm spacer)
18*9 (+45)

The rear inner lip is rolled, other than that they fit under the stock sheetmetal with no issues.

I know!

Crap, it was a runaway for the Works, now it's getting close... if it's a tie I'll roll down with the Works on one side and the BBS's on the other :smilielol5:

Hah. I don't really care for either, but I guess BBS. /:

I prefer the BBS, maybe think about painting the centre to match your paint?

:rofl: You just put the BBS's up top.....

Can't - even though they are a 2 piece, they have rivets not nuts like most 2 or 3 piece rims so I can't take them apart so painting them would be REALLY difficult. They're actually pretty close in color to the car.

The bbs wheels make the car look cheap and tacky, dont argue with this.

The Work wheels have better lines, style, and appeal. (Why do you think they are so popular? People would not spend this type of money on wheels that did not look good.) They really make the car pop, and the color compliments the paint quite well, offering a nice, subtle contrast to the paint. Furthermore, the Work wheels make the car appear like the solid and well crafted machine we all know it is.


There, Max has spoken.


PS: I love the hell out of some BBS's.. just not those.

Max hath spoken! Choices are WORK or BBS, he chooses VOLK. It's like giving choices to my wife!

Well, thanks for getting the joke, but that was a bit of a spelling mistake on my part. :d
