Actually, those look too big to be 17s. They are the Rota/Linea Corse MC's with BB5 (maybe BBS) centercaps..

Yep, those are 18" wheels if you look at tire profile. I haven't seen Hankook V12 in 215/35/17.

That car was posted over on motoring underground. The guy got flamed for putting BBS caps on MC's.

While I can sympathize with the flamers of said car, if it were mine (wish it was
), i'd like the caps to say BBS as well *shrug*

to me... wheels are wheels. If they look good then I like em, but I wouldnt run BBS caps on them knowing that they arent BBS's. I would just put mini caps.

True , MINI caps seem like the perfect compromise
