Got the BBS's back from Atomic Wheels today.  They have done a fantastic job.  Wheels were unmarked before hand, but I fancied a change.

What do you think?

WOW!!  :congrats:

Stunning colour, gives them a more solid look IMO than the OEM finish (sorry Carlo).

Very very close.  Few more coats of wax then they will go on.

Also managed to get some black weights for them too  :happy2:

Must be warmer down there than up North. Still winter boots weather in the NE.

What Hankook model are these new tyres then Alex?

Car looks good on grey wheels. Very good..

those CKs clear the big brakes OK Alex? do you have anything done with the shifter? I hear you do the shifter bushings, thinking of them for my VRS
