Would have to agree GReg...and when you view the car on the standard silver wheels I would have to say the BBS look better.

Just read the advert....didn't realise the GS was a double clutch and had the same engine as the 430. :|

Never taken the car over 4k revs? Blimey, what a shame....or a load of tosh :)

Of course the GS has a single clutch and the 430 has a development of the 4200/GS engine. IMO, the black wheels look too 'heavy' and lose most of the detail. It's like putting hobnail boots on a ballet dancer. Also, IMO, if he hasn't taken it over 4k then he needs butt f*cking with a rag-mans trumpet. What a waste, he doesn't deserve to own it.

I don't like the tinted lights either, quite like the black front grill though. I'd have left the BBS centres on rather than the silver tridents.

To get aftermarket wheels to look good needs suspension adjustment as the ride heights and stance from the factory look awkward.

Robert, fronts have 62.2 stamped on them and the rears 55.5, it's stamped after the 9.5J 19". Manufacterur is BBS.

This could be the centre bore but thought they would be the same number if that was the case.

Matt thanks for that. I understand that the Centre Bore is 67.1 mm.

Matt, I had a look.Noted there are 4 wheels x8.5.PCD is I think 120mm.The shop who are welding the rears can change PCD if 110 ,112 or 114. For the rears I can go to 10". The off set is an issue I think,particularly the front with 62.2.
If I can get an off set of 45-50 and there is plenty of "meat " on the inner face the shop can machine the inner face with out loosing any strength.
I don't know what happens to the offset if I go to 8.5" for the front?
I appreciate your help, given that 3 wheels have been cracked!
Robert
