Most of you seen these at MOM but for those who havent...
Lots of work getting these things on; we didnt think it wouldve been possible but thank God for ebay and FedEx we had spacers sent from Hawaii to make things work.
Phew.

All the bullshit I went through to get these rims and then to get them to work..
I think I can say it was worth it.


BBS 17x8 running with 5mm spacers in the front & 8mm spacers in the rear

Needs a little modification ;)

Glad it all finally worked out for you. The rims look good, and it\'s a very unique style which is always a good thing.

I had no choice - we could only drill 5mm... 6mm MAX into the rim for it to be \'safe\' Any further and there is a chance we could have broke through the rim; the hub bore on our car sticks out 10mm. So... plus it makes it look nicer. Especially the rear (you all know what I\'m talking about! The rears stick in too much)
