Quick snap from my phone, dan you can keep 5mm spacers im gonna need somthing more significant to make it worth while
They do look a hell of a lot bigger than the vectra phase1's i took off even thou they are the same size, still need some lower springs in the back

Well if two male valve caps love each other. Then I surpose.........
I Have always like those 90's alloys. They do look much bigger than the Gsi's.
I think its the colour that dose it.
If your car was white then it would be realy ST.
So are the BBS's going to be your everyday wheel and the White ones for show????

Last night i got a knocking through the pedal area at slow speeds that seemed to come and go and wasnt particually constant unless id done more than 5miles, it got slightly worse but in the end i put it down to a busted inner cv joint, even if it wasnt it was a good excuse to fit the equal length shaft
One refurbed equal length shaft with new cvs and inner shaft bearing, and 2x m10x22 bolts (from my boxes of bolts)
Tried to take some useful pictures but just got on with changing it so i had my car back.

The lights really suit it.
What colour did you paint the old Phase ones? As I'm thinkin of getting my BBS's done the same.
Were they satin of gloss and do you have the paint code?

Ther colour was a one off, i just mixed up colours at work till i got it the way i wanted it. was mostly a metallics with some blue pearl in.
Was a gloss finish, they just looked satin when they were dirty.
