'08 BBS wheels on a 06/07.

stormhalter · 03-14-2008, 11:45 AM

I was searching the forum for a picture of an 06 or 07 with gold BBS wheels off an 08.

Is this possible? If it is, does anyone know where I could find some pictures of this? I'm interested in doing this as a wheel option. (:

there's a pic floating around of a black on silver 08 bbs . . . i think it might be in the For Sale thread . . . .

EDIT: Yup found the pics. . . .

That looks real good.

I wanna see a white 06/07 do it with the gold ones....

I might try and get some then cuz 18's look money.

so the 08 BBS can be a directy replacement for the 06/07?

Yes.

Thanks a lot Tbagger. I'd like to see how the wheels match with the fenders from a shot down the side. Can you link this FS thread? I'll try to find it in the mean time.

just searching for a RA-R picture and you will have some idea of the wheel relation to the fender since they have the "same" sizing wheels

RA-R 18x.8.5 +53mm
08 BBS 18.8.5 +55mm

2mm difference in offset

I'm not sure if it's the photo, but that hue of gold looks a bit faded when compared to the 04-07 gold BBS's. Me likes the silver mang

08 BBS wheels + brake dust + cleaning them =

Photoshop...I know my skills are not great but here you go...I thought it would be fun to play with and try for white. Obviously, it needs a lot more work:
