oh damn..lol thats nice. i need some caps for some other old school bbs wheels i just bought, so looking for options.
Caps for them are 100 bucks, but not spending that kinda money on caps.

Seriously! Thats what im sayin', they're expensive..and think i could of even got bbs stickers made instead of doing what i did..so there are alternatives

Oh i see..what did you use?

I started off with this..

It's an amber plastic cap that goes inside an Audi A4's headlight for the turn signal.
I used to have an a4 and i did many "clear corner" mods for other a4 owners but popping these amber caps out.

Anyways these were perfect shape and diameter for center caps, so i spray painted them gloss red, used white electrical tape for the letters, and sharpies for the details.
I also dremmeled off the excess part of the caps so they were flat and would fit into my center caps

Oh i see..what did you use?

[BrysonB]

And detail of my wannabe caps haha (temporary)

[BrysonB]

looks veyr nice man. for the bbs caps, just order some 70mm bbs decals from ebay and dome them with some resin.really easy.
just look up doing stickers on youtube.

Thanks for the info, i plan on getting the decals, im just so impatient that i had to do something to get rid of the bmw logos, didnt look right to me

[QUOTE=FredRC;1159834]I know, at first I left the outter lip polished as well, I didn`t want to give up on the polished look entirely. Then I decided to vynil wrap it white and ended up liking the results, the good thing about these wheels is that you have plenty of options.

heres how I intendend to use mine at first
Looks great! I like your all white ones better for your car
And yes i love how theres so many different ways to customize these wheels


You said you headlights are from ebay, but the halos are extremely bright, which ones did you bought ? Also which coilovers are you on ?

Yes they are the ebay's, but only barely. I gutted out the cheap halogen projectors and retrofitted in Acura tsx xenon projectors, and while i was in there i fitted ccfl angel eyes that are also from eBay.

And the coilovers are also eBay haha, they're JOM, they run about $500, they don't get the car as low as mine is in the front, i had to trim this metal sleeve that sits in the hub to allow the coilover to sit lower, also the helper springs in the front are cut a little bit..

The ride is great

^ hey thanks man, i have seen your car before and loved it, i like the little stripe on the lip you did aswell with the chrome bbs logo, all white looks amazing and bigger like you said, people are dumb though some guy thought mine were 20's..
If i didnt love the reflection of the bolts and spokes in the lip, I'd probably go all white

Thanks for the compliments
