Wheels refurb's and hoooge spacers fitted

[NikB]

I've just finished putting my 18's back on and some big spacers to get them sitting right. The wheel refurb was done by BJV Engineering near Hemel, I am very pleased with the results.

@rse.

Just moved them somewhere else. Any better?

[MrFlibbles]

Much better mate

I've got those wheels - they look much better on your car!

Very nice! Am a fan of black'd spokes with shiny, shiny rims.
Must sound pretty *meaty* too!

Wheels are BK121's (normally rubbish finish hence the refurb). They are 18x7.5J +38 offset, spacers are 20mm front and 25mm rear. Car is dropped on HKS springs.

-> Edited to say, No clearance issues noticed as of yet.

Yikes. 20/25mm spacers are pretty big mate.

Looks good though.

I did say they were hooooge

It's very hard to get the right offset for a 200. I know I'm gonna wreck the bearings, but it's no different to running 7.5J's at a +20 odd offset. The spacers are pucker ones as well - hubcentric with longer studs.

Recently sold some JDM AVS 17x8 offset 32 +3mm spacers(not needed-but he took 'em anyway) from the 'liner to a guy with an s14 sx200.So long as the spokes clear the brake calipers OK,you can pretty much swap 'em around.
