What does BBS stand for afterall?

Well it took me a LONG time to decide on a wheel size and model, but I picked up a set about a month ago and yesterday I finally put them on the car.

Here are just a few pics from a quick shoot my friends and I did. A full shoot will be done asap.

BBS Gold:thumb:


And the Money shot thanks to my boy Tek



The wheels are BBS RGR's in the Bright Silver finish

Specs:
17 x 8 +32mm offest w/ 215/45/17 tires.
People said it couldn't be done, well it can be. It just took a little work.


Let me know what you guys think.

nice choice

 

BBS took its initials of its two founders and the name of the small town where the business was established.

Founders: Heinrich Baumgartner and Klaus Brand. The towns name is Schiltach.

Haha, I'm working on getting more pics up. I'm not too happy with the few I took yesterday.

 

Here is one to hold you over until I can do another shoot of the car.

Beleiv me it took me forever to decide on these.

 

Bump for a good looking new gen civic. You need some more pictures in front of that wall. Love those pics.

 

Looks good but how come you stated:

"17 x 8 +32mm offest w/ 215/45/17 tires.
People said it couldn't be done, well it can be. It just took a little work."?

I believe my old RGR's were the same size and fitment, they fit nicely without mods to my RSX.

 

Nice wheels

 

BBS

 

gangster!!

those wheels look great.

Graffiti spot is on my list of spots to go now that the wheels are on, so keep a look out for those pic in the near future with some more new stuff for the car!

They fit, and after doing my research I knew they would. I definitely didn't just slap them on and call it a day. they fit pretty well after dialing in the camber as best as possible before an alignment but I still need to add the second set of camber bolts up front to add more negative camber to eliminate the rubbing I have on my front fender liners. And as far as the rear I am running a fair amount of negative camber so the tires aren't bottoming out on my fenders.

In my experience the wheels fitments of DC5's and 8thgen civics is similar but DC5's can take slightly more aggressive setups.

Thanks for the comments everyone!
