Rebuilding one of my many dream wheels.

Really looking forward to seeing how the RS' turn out!

all my bbs centers are being painted right now. RS and LM is getting oem silver. and the RFs is getting gun metal grey.

ive also sourced new lips for the RS since they were a bit damaged on the outer lips. so i found a guy that had 8" outer lips. was thinking for the rears making them 15x13j... but the first problem with them was they were a bit egg shaped so i would need to get them fixed,, meaning extra costs and time for me. second problem is tire sizes. so i found a guy that is selling me four 6.5" outer lips new without any damage. this will give me 6.5" lips in the front and the rear. making them 10.5 and 11.5j. not calculated the correct ET yet. need to wait until they are mounted.

Got these today. thanks Spinfab. 2 sets of white and gold center caps. and 24K half hex. (already had the red one)

[stbk]

yea so hurry up this thread is awesome

I'm taking a plane down to the south of Norway next week and delivering the LM centers personally and also picking up the RS from my brother in sweeden so all 3 sets can get to the polisher. i would rather get the centers azid dipped and polished by them then doing it myself. so much work with all the small holes on rs and lm.

order is thru at Spinfab for the 24K half hex and center caps. Also gold bolts other parts are on its way from felgen fuchs. Its just a matter of waiting!

A little update. sent the RF, RS and the LM centers too the polisher. so all 3 sets will be fully polished. all 3 sets will have gold bolts. the RS and the LM centers will get the white bbs logo with golden 3D letters. and the RF will get the blue logo with gold 3D letters.

The RF will end up at 18x11j and 18x13j. I'm selling my W212 merc and is atm searching for a clean E38 to mount the RF`s on.. Always had a soft spot for the E38 chassie..

New wheels to add to my collection. they are still in austria. but hopefully i have them in 3-4 weeks. 15x8 et -23 and 15x11 et -35.
bought them for my EK9 civic.

[stbk]

So while the LM`s are waiting for paint i picked up some other goodies.

Can`t wait to set the grinder in them

Im gonna use BBS hardware, barrels and lips.

15x7 Bottle caps. they will become 16x9 and 16x10 i think. should be nice.





I dont know yet about the Ford RS wheels. they are 14" and i think i will just make them 3 piece in 14". always a car to suit them.
