So first, I got a set of BBS RS (just faces, lips and barrels) from a trade with a good friend, these were 16x9.5'

Looks good now.
Camber that bish and drop it another inch and it will look great

[Kinghorn]

lip and color combo are on point! Does need some more lows in the rear though,

[B Rod]

What are the finished specs on the wheels? Also, what kind of power are you making?

[DinanDave]

Wow Looks very nice!

[xaviman]

thanks to everyone, a little camber will be added soon, just finished the car and im taking a little break , the wheels specs are 18x9.5 w 205/40/18 front and 18x10.5 w 225/45/18 rear

its my daily so i cant go too aggressive on the setup

the car is making 255rwhp

[FittedDownLow]

Good job on the wheel restore, i feel like a bigger wheel face would compliment this car soo much more though.

[adibratakoesoema]

Very nice, the color just work well with the car, maybe color coding the door rear view mirror same with the wheels will add to the overall theme. I salute you for the work on those bolts, not a job for the faint hearted.

One question though, is this originally a 16" wheel/centers up converted to 18"? where did you source the lips/barrel sets from?

Great works mate
