RGR pics...BWW

[rhythmman]

Well, I finally got my digicam software sorted out, and can post pics of the new shoes...
These are amazingly light, the Michelin PS2's exceeded my expectations and then some - the car's handling changed dramatically!!

BBS RGR 18X8 with Michelin Pilot Sport 2 225/40/18

first a before pic:

now the new stuff:





and a couple of night shots (a little blurry, I know)

[HomeSlice]

those are some sweet wheels!

[rhythmman]

thanks!
I should also mention that Oscar @ the Tire Rack assisted me in my purchase, and was extremely helpful... I got the shipment a day earlier than expected, with everything as he said it would be, and in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend his services.

[rhythmman]

thanks guys - the pics really don't do them justice - but I'm sure you all know things like that look better in person

[MKGIY]

They look good but would look even better with a BBK behind them.

It's already in the works, but I need a little time to fill my wallet again after the wheels... I agree though, it'll be even better filled out.

Nice rims! Now you should paint the lower trim or get a body kit :)

I will have some pics this weekend. The video is going to have to wait a little. I am real busy this week with a wedding in the family. I will also video the dyno. If you find yourself on the east coast hit me up we can for a ride.

sweet dude - looking forward to the pics...
funny you should mention east coast - I'll be visiting family in Boston next week.... hmmm

[Sherpa]

Leon, your wheels are awesome!

[kjgarreau]

Looks good. Meguiar's Hot Rims wheel cleaner will clean them well.

Did you wax them before you put 'em on? Waxing your wheels 2x year makes cleaning them MUCH easier.

[DarkkstaR]

Very pretty...I love those.

[Anthony]

Sooooo much better! Can't go wrong with BBS.

Good stuff, and a thumbsup to Oscar@TireRack, good to see he's once again been there to take good care of an AZ'er.

[A4 in SC]

Looks sweet man!!! Like everyone else has said, you can't go wrong w/ BBS! Sweet!

Yep, I waxed the hell outta those babies (it takes some time though with all those spokes). And yes, getting the brake dust off is much easier.

BTW, the PS2's are pretty decent tires, don't you think? They came on the GT3 and love them.
