Help choosing new rims
So having owned the saloon since December I can resist no longer and have been looking at wheels!
I'm going for the S206 look for the rims and the closest I can find are BBS CH's and CH-R's in black and silver.
I always loved the look of my anthracite Turini's on my silver hatch but not 100% on them on the white saloon, when I got the car and it had the standard wheels fitted I thought the silver looked cleaner.
Will probably opt for 18's again as 19 inch BBS are a fair bit more, 2k plus with rubber!
S206
CH
CH-R
Only other wheel I had my eye on was a 3SDM but I cannot get my head round swapping out a set of quality Speedlines for this make. Also needs to be on coilovers I think for such a concaved rim.
Only real issue I have is neither of the BBS come in a Pcd of 114 so will have to be either redrilled or I'll have to use some special nuts, been told correct spigot ring will be supplied to centre the wheel on the hub and nuts will then just hold wheel to hub, anyone any experience of this set up as I have my concerns even though be told its safe.
Other thing is ET is 38 opposed to my Turini's which are 35 but only 3mm so not big issue!
What do you think on wheels and colour.
The black CH and both CH-R's come with a replaceable chrome lip so should a kerb get a bit close that can be replaced and not a full refurb!
And my car as it stands (well minus bottom line kit) to help you decide.
Cheers
