Josh Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Getting a set of BBS LMs (fronts are 9.5x18 42mm offset and rears are 10x18 50mm offset) fully refurbed in a colour of my choice. I was thinking probably matte black centres with a polished lip. At the moment I have Yellow Bilsteins with stock springs. Question is, will the car need lowering for the wheels to fill the arches properly? Does anyone have a picture of a TT with Bilsteins and BBS LMs? Also, what colour would people suggest getting them done in? Here are a couple of pictures of my car, so if someone could maybe photoshop the wheels onto it in a few different colours, that'd be great. Thanks.

j_jza80 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Dark grey, just like Bignum had it My favourite colour is gold with silver (not polished) lip, but it only seems to suit white cars well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3268/joshbbm.jpg That's chrome BBS for you. Don't know if I got the proportions right however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, couldn't remember what colour they were. Gunmetal grey with a silver or polished lip may be a contender. How hard is a polished lip to keep looking good? http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3268/joshbbm.jpg That's chrome BBS for you. Don't know if I got the proportions right however. Thanks man, they look good. Can't wait to get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I remember seeing a red one with silver BBS LM's in the last Suprapod thread, looked stunning.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 I remember seeing a red one with silver BBS LM's in the last Suprapod thread, looked stunning.. Yeah, DarronQ's UK Spec. Gorgeous Supra. Minus the roof spoiler, I'd love mine to look like his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Darker centres and you would have a winner..!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2jz Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Hyper Silver would look stunning Josh. Really thinking about these wheels for my Supra as well. They look awesome on red Supras, pretty expensive though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9l3 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 surely black with a polished lip would be better . I have same wheels with grey middle and I can't see them looking amazing on a red car bit of a funny combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k9l3 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I would pick silver over grey but would say shiny black in the middle. I surprised people saying grey for the middle on a red car. they may be tipsy still from last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Having reconsidered, I'll change my answer to silver or gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 i definately wouldn't go for matt black if it was me, i'm inclined to agree with the light gunmetal centres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thanks for the Photoshop Luke, but can someone (maybe you again ) Photoshop them onto my car in black centres with polished/silver lip, grey centres with polished/silver lip and all silver? Thanks a lot I need to decide what colour to get them in ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Think I prefer the chrome on the red car!? Think the centres are a tad too dark on the last pic!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 imo go chrome or silver/polished lip here is a lighter one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
