BBS RS 8,5x15 !!

Haha, it's a bit of cheat. They was the wheels of my Golf mk2, but I'm going to sell them, and before well worth a test in the 360 ! Very Pimp I think ! :D

Sorry for spend less time around here, but I've needed to stop the 360 build up for money reasons ! hehe. I did the Mongol Rally this summer and my economy is very weak nowadays !

I still reading in the shadows, hehe.

PD: Tom, I don't forget your stuff, but be patient my friend. Sorry :wink:

Regards from Spain !

Uber pimp indeed! I expect at 8,5" wide they have some clearance issues on a 300, but then the offset might keep the insides clear. They certainly look incredible, if they did fit and clear everything then you'd be mad to sell them!

They look the bollocks (That's Brit speak for looking very cool).

Keep them, even if it means you have to sell one of your kidneys, or your Golf.

How much those cost approx? I'm about to get my outer fenders redone and inner too at the same time so if those wheels need some extra clearance I'm sure that I'll make inner fenders to clear those.. because those are probably the best looking wheels for 300-series I've seen. ;)

:lol:

No clearance issues. They fit perfectly in the 360 !! The wheels are 8,5x15 ET16 more or less...

I'm selling them for 1300 EUR, with 195/45 Falken tyres. They're a bit underpriced IMO, but I need to sell'em asap, hehe.

I can't keep them. All are money reasons ! The Mongol Rally has broken my bank account, and I have no work now... They need to go.

But this isn't a selling thread ! hehe, was only a joke and a fitment test 8)

Greetings from Spain !
