I've not posted much about the BBS LMs. I have fully stripped them down, polished the dish and painted the centres in original BBS gold. Fitted new red/gold genuin BBS crntre caps. Also fitted genuin BBS spigot rings. Cost me a fortune!!

Spec of the wheels originaly are..

Fronts LM154 5x112 19" 8.5j et32

Rears LM155 5x112 19" 9.5j et32

I have face mounted the rears so they are et37ish

Sorry for the amount of pics :-)

Quick update, split a braided brake hose so awaiting a new one. Thought i'd do a service whilst its off the road. 6k since the last one i did already :-/

Fitted my new wheels. 19" 9j Porsche wheels with 15mm adaptors and 225/35/19 tyres.

I need a set of bigger adaptors though..

[pip_vrs]

Looking good Phil. All the photos show how much care and attention has gone into the air ride system along with the installation

Its from a mk6 golf GTD. I'm going to look into the badge, but as someone has already mentioned i dont want it to effect the airbag in anyway. If it goes off and the badge comes off or aomething its gonna be stuck in my head.
