do an original finish for that wheel imo would look better. getting those powdercoated is just a waste of money.

Are theey even real infini wheels?

Dont get me wrong, they are nice, but I thought real ones were 16". I was bidding on a set on yahoo japan auctions and lost

.

Also what makes me think they arent authentic is the actual bbs caps in the pic of 4.

Infini or not, BBS mesh wheels look SICK on FC's. Good choice, you're probably the most JDM-part crazy person on this board...lol.

they are BBS RS...not the genuine infini wheels but they are the genuine center caps. i wanted/needed something larger than 16's and these are perfect. not sure of the offsets, i will find out soon. definitely gonna make them black...ill probably keep the gold bolts as i doubt you could paint them easily.

you could always buy new bolts.

there are forum's dedicated to refinishing, and customizing 2, and 3 piece wheels.

i know you can buy all different color anodized, and plated bolts for wheels like that.

yea please post the offsets, i have the same wheels also in 17"s. my offsets are +35 front/ +20 rear. you have inspired me to get my *** in gear and have my wheels refinished. i am wondering if the rears will clear with those offsets.

i have some original BBS bolts if your interested, they are the chrome/silver. have BBS logo's on them. i would trade with you if you where interested.

also if you want to do any upgrades to them there is a lot on modifying the BBS RS. i have a 15" set on my VW.

check out http://www.blackforestindustries.com/ they sell some BBS RS stuff like different bolts and such. sometimes have larger lips too if you wanted to make them wider.

BTW i think they look amazing how they are.
