That's a pretty sweet stance, right there man. Could come down a little more in the front, still sweet though! The friggin' wheel wells are stuffed full! Nice.

oh, its definitely coming down on all corners. I just need to take it into an alignment shop to have them put more camber on all four wheels so it doesnt rub as much.....then it's lowering time

taking forever......not the fastest shipping from germany

I talked to a BBS rep at waterfest this weekend, they said to call them in a few days to see if they could find any left over at their factories after the discontinuation

Yeah shipping from Europe is never fun. Waterfest huh. My friend was there in his 997 Carrera, did you happen to see it? White on Black with 19" Sportec's, Aerokit, GT3RS goods, etc... He told me it was pretty intense. Too bad I missed out..

EDIT: Any pics from waterfest?

Nice! I've been looking for this thread.

I'm thinking about a set of 16" RG-F for my wife's MCS painted in matte black.

I have a set of 18" RG-G's on my S2000 and 19" BBS LM's on order for my M Coupe. I'm a BBS fan boy!

rally- how does your car drive? wander off into the groove of the road or
feel the torque steer when you wot?

that's some crazy offsets you're running. a hispanic crowd somewat
away from my town does that kind of setups with their Buicks and
stuff. i think they run airbags though so they can actually drive
the thing. it's actually pretty cool to watch. boing boing boing

Not too much torque steer or wandering on the road. I have no complaints about the drive so far and it's been through daily driving and a few long road trips on some heavy construction roads. Still handles like it had before. You can definitely feel the difference of the wider stance....but it's still a perfect daily driver and i wouldn't call any of it a definite negative.

Chances are....if they're pulling the "boing boing boing", they are hydraulic setups rather than air bag setups. Air bag setups can only be raised and lowered a few times before the compressor needs to refill. And generally....unless you've purposely setup the lines to achieve otherwise, the airbags are much slower than the bouncing of hydraulics. The lowerider crowd as well as the euro-lowrider crowd has been a definite inspiration to me....as well as the old classic mini coopers that I used to watch race around mid-ohio as a kid, they always had their little wheels poking out past the fenders.

Anybody have pics of a MINI with BBS RD wheels? I like the big 5-spoke look and I'm curious what it looks like on a MINI.
