Not much to update here except that I sold my BBS RK's and just received photos of my new wheels before they ship out. Now I just need to decide what tires to run....

Im not posting these anywhere else except for here for my loyal followers hope y'all enjoy!

I went with the nitto g2 on my d110 ccw's there a good tire and good price of course. I'm not making the power you're making so I can't really comment on if there grippy but they're an around good tire. What size are the wheels? Also I was stuck between the 540 and d110 cause dam they both looked nice but ended up picking d110.

Straight line grip won't be there either way. Im looking for a good handling tire. Sizes are the issue im running into. I was running a ventus RS3 but they no longer make those and the RS4 is very similar however they have been out of stock as well. Im probably going to end up with Michelin Pilot SuperSport.

Wheels are the same size and offset as my BBS RK's. 18x8.5 and 18x10. I really like the D110 as well but since Mario had them I didn't want to do the same.

Decided on Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Dropped the wheels off to get tires mounted...

With the faces being machined it has added yet another color to the car. It is what I wanted but I do admit the gray tied the car together better. I didn't want to do a gray finish on these so to remove one color I may be changing up the color of the calipers to either match the paint on the car or the gray on the trim.

Either way, super happy with the wheels, they are really nice quality and packaging was on point. better photos coming soon!

Looks great! I would do body color calipers. It’s a break from all the dark wheels on everything lately. Good pick. Whole car is sick good job.

Good Lord!! Saw your video on IG and was super hyped to see it. Wasn't sure you would pick a wheel without it being similar to the RK's in color, but the BCF's give the car a good color break. I think the calipers actually pop behind it but even a paint matched caliper would look good

Yup I love it, I think it gives the car a lot fresher look. I love me some plasmas but just just kinda blend in, these wheels pop but do it in an elegant way.
