2-tone RS

12 June 2009 8 Comments

BBS RS is such a classic old school wheels that its continuing to be the popular choice of wheels for the many who are fans of that old school Euro look. The classic mesh design on a multi-piece set up giving you a variety of offset set ups are I’m sure the reasons for its prevalence.

Here is an Audi Typ 8PA A3 slammed on RS. This 5-door estate has some nice wheel set up here. The offset looks pretty aggressive, poking the wheels outward requiring a stretched tire set up to cut down on the rubbing and still be able to slam it.

Another interesting part of the wheels is the 2-tone finish. I dig the black barrels, not the typical polished lip, giving it a more unique and menacing feel to it.

The white centers are a little too much contrast for my taste though. Maybe a light gray finish instead if I would to do it to my own car but that’s just me. The gold fasteners are cool too.

I also dig how much meat the tires have. This is how I’ve always remembered how this look used to be done. But now with big wheels and low profile tires, it’s not as dope but ehh, close enough.

i love RS’s, they are my all-time favourite wheel.

this set, however… the black lip just makes it look like a 60-series tire on a 14″ rim from afar. maybe it’d work better with a different lip and rear valence
