Default Better pics of IS on BBS RS-GT
My original post on this topic had some pretty crappy pictures of my dirty car. Here are some better ones.

Nice. Very classy rims. They're not the easiest rims to clean. I had a set of BBS CH rims on my prior car and the wheels took as long as the body of the car to wash. Those are my first choice of rims though for this car and most other modern sport sedans/coupes.

Good job and thanks for sharing.

How many inches is the lip front and rear?

Also, could you give us another shot more from the rear to show us how much the wheel fills the wheel well?

Lookin good!

Non-tint makes it stand out a little more; gives your photos that extra added pop!

Looks nice! I want to change mine to BBS too.
Maybe BBS is cheaper in Japan, I found lots of Japan IS owners use BBS.

Very nice! I was considering those when I got my wheels back in January. You made a great choice!

I haven't measured the lips but I used my key fob to gauge the depth and the front is approximately 1 3/4" and the rear is 2 1/2".

I'm getting Eibach springs shortly but maybe this photo helps (Sport package).

Car looks good. Did you get new TPS or used the ones on your old wheels?

Beautiful.

Is your car lowered too?
It looks it, but you don't have it on your mod list.

Looks great.

What size tires are on your new rims?

Nice wheels, but I have one question. Lots of people on the forums are lowering their cars, what made you go with a lift instead? LOL just kidding, mine looked the same way before I lowered it. I bet your would look sweet if you did also.

those wheels look awesome. I have basically the same car but on stock wheels, and those are the kind of wheels I'd get if I ever changed wheels. Thanks for sharing the pics!
