Monkeys new clothes
Brand new BBS forged 17's.....
With brand new 235 section RE070's (no more tramlining for me
)....
and a genuine S202 carbon spoiler
Anyone know where I might find a set of centre caps for the wheels?

I agree on the weights. Take them down your local tyre place and get them to put the stick on weights on the inside. Makes the wheels easier to clean too.
Ebay is a good place for the centre caps, I did find a site that sold them but can't find it now.

Thanks for the replies people.
Know what you mean about the balance weights but I've just stuck the wheels on as they arrived with the factory weights. Might get them changed when my alloy nuts finally turn up
Tried ebay for caps but no one seems to have the right size.
Thanks for the offer budgie but if they're the same size as my standard subaru ones then they are too small
Must meet up soon so I can see the new car 
M444GY, you're back

Lovely wheels but i can't believe a garages/manufacturers are still fitting clip-on weights to their wheels. Highly likely to pull paint off when they are taken off

They're not pretty but still the best way to balance a wheel.
Had some removed previously and they came away cleanly so hope these will be the same

Budgie,
they're OEM but the caps from the origional wheels just rattle around in there
Two coats of poorboys front and back before they went anywhere near the car
Get the pics up M444GY.......is it as loud as the last one?
