Spirit's set up looks pretty crunk, IMO.

agreed, 16's look better than i imagined.
I'll be doing candy red centers to stick out a bit though

Thanks Jagger, they are expensive though! A set of barrels and lips for RS's look about $600+ per corner!

Better to buy a set of stock RS's with a high offset then buy lips accordingly.
Mine will be around +6 when I add 3.5" lips on the rears

Drakkar

do you guys have some pictures of red FCs with BBS RS?

- sorry for resuming an old topic -

Same. Anyone have a 16 f / 17 r stagger setup by any chance?

Here they are. The car needs paint, and the wheels are dirty. I hope this gets the point across. Paint and clean weels aren't my top priority, and it has been cold.
Wheels are authentic BBS RS' 16x7 +35

The car used to be pretty clean, but last year i was working on my house all summer and it hasn't really gotten any time, except for being beat on. The Turbo has gotten all the attention.

Also, if someone is interested in the wheels I'd sell them if the price was right.

Edit: I also know the wheels weights aren't supposed to be on the lips. That's how they were when I got them, they still have 10 year old tires on them. I'm just roasting them out.

I got some 17" RS's, not on the car yet though, I have pics here:

We spend more on roads in Texas than any other state, but you can't really run more than 15" wheels on a car like ours here. First time you hit a pothole, you're fucked.

Nice dude. I might re-sandblast mine and just clear over the raw aluminum

CJarrett

I thought about blasting them, but then I got lazy. Just cleaned em and smoothed them with some scotch brite pads and primered n painted them.

I blasted mine but painted em satin black. I prefer the raw look though now

Proud to say that I was "possibly" one of the first within my So cal reigon to have these on my FC back in 2008 and have loved them since day one. Insane to see how they've grown in popularity and catch them mounted on stupid little Scion XBs and stuff lol.

Still on the lookout for that next set of wheels, maybe a set of demon offset regamasters

Everyone here rocks Rota,sportmax, and Work Emotions.
I'd be pretty original here with RS', especially if I find some decent 3.5" lips.

Bbs sells lips in and width you desire.

The "german made" aftermarket rs lips are thin pieces of junk...thats why they are usually half price what bbs charges.

Was planning on Tunershop lips, VW guys seem to have no problems
