Default Look what I got!!!

Just picked these up on Saturday and I'm really pumped about rebuilding them soon. Authentic BBS RM0012's, got them for $600. I'm going to go with 2.5in lips and the center is going to be powder coated kind of a sea foam green What do you guys think? BTW, sorry for the crappy pics, I was a little excited lol...

Thanks... and as for the refurb... a lot lol. If I do the painting, it will cost about $1k with all new parts i.e. wheel shells (lips), bolts, valve stems, tires (with a buddy hook up), and all sealant and paint. Total, including the wheels I will have spent about $1800 give or take. It's worth it to me although a lot of people will disagree but, I don't care haha

They're 2 peice cast and they're only 15x6.5 +33, but when I'm done they'll be 15x8.5 +14ish. I wish I could have gotten my hands on a set of RS' (3-peice forged) but oh well.
