Just wanted to check this guys.
Saw some GORGEOUS BBS alloys below
http://www.splitrims.co.uk/images/bbs_r5.jpg

They are unfortunately designed for BMW 5 series E39 will they fit an S14?
Checked on google etc and getting varied sizes as its not accurate could someone clarify as I really really really REALLY want them.

Nope - wrong PCD I'm afraid. BMW use 5x120, S14s are 5x114.3

IF it is a good deal and they have a bad offset then a set of pcd conversion spacers will do the job!

True - can you buy a 5x114.3 too 5x120 spacer kit?

Yeah they do look good, any idea on the offset? I could CAD up and suitable spacer/adaptors but i'm not sure how much they'd cost to get make as it would depend on the thickness they'd need to be.

Yep!

I've had them fully machine polished up, and the rears have brand new rubber on, they havent seen the car though.

Got these before the stupidly wide Silvia. :wack:

LOL

Im having the wheel itch at the moment :nod:

Loving the TE37's at the moment but to get the mint looking ones will require man fitment time lol
Guy

Tell me about it! I want/need to sort out a proper set for mine.

TE37's would look awesome on yours. :nod:

For me I think its either get 2x LMGT4's for the rear so I've got a set, or I have been drooling over these for agggggesss!

Slight problem neither come in that large a size, and well I dont even want to know how much they will cost. :wack: :(

Dont like the Weds :no:

Have you looked at the Rota GTRD ? they come in huuge sizes, and it's a cheaper solution for the short term !

See, now i love my GTR's as they are the look i have always been after.

BUT

Im sick of the stigma that comes with owning a good looking pair of rims that are copies.

The fitment and size is man enough but i just want more lol

Have always had a soft spot for do luck double six and a few of the Racing heart rims but they are just prohibitively expensive and i don't see the point in it :no: they are no rounder than what i have and i have also given the rotas a complete pasting on track and they lap it up.

I dont have that much beef with Rotas, BUT.... if I am going to be shelling out for some different wheels, I'd rather do it properlly.

Might see about getting 2x LMGT4's. or maybe how much the BBS's would need spacing out. :wack:

Also the Weds rule. :p
