the bbs rs's come in 3piece
the bbs rm's which are the older model of the rs's are 2piece
they both look the same its just the rm's are older and 2piece
theres different types of rs's tho
ur probably looking for the bbs rs001

i purchased them already. they were from www.japaneseimportspares.com.au picked em up for $500, there missing center pieces. but i was wondering if i could pull out the center and spray them and add more lip dish. they told me it was 2 piece but i duno which 2 pieces they come out to. and i wasn't sure of the bbs model number. i just know they bbs rs.. in the title it says bbs meshies.. i'll find the link hold upz. http://www.japaneseimportspares.com.au/wheelsspecial/

i tried cleaning the wheels.. it came up a lil bit shinnier but i couldnt get thos marks off, its asif something as eaten onto the metal but then i used meguairs mag and wheel polish, think i might need like a metal cut n polish thing yeah??.. and its also on the bolts.. i think i might source a new set of bolts too.

also, do you think i could source the center caps for cheap from like BMW wreckers or something.. others seem quite expensive.

should scratch the rims to go a layer down to bring out some shine but yer gotta use some fine sand paper, if the mark are visible, gotta go over it with a finer sand paper.

yeah i might try that, but it seems asif its like stuck on pretty hard.. eaten on.. like rust but not powdery, and its like silver in colour..

also, no1 answered my question about BMW wreckers.. would they have the center caps? would they fit non bmw bbs wheels?
