I am running 4x rear bbs csl fitment bbs ch's 19 x9.5,which all have the curved face,although not quite as curved as the 10,s but still look very good IMO.
No drilling required as i used h+r hub adapters (not cheap) but do the job,and i have lowered mine quite a bit and no catching and i run 265/30/19s.
Wow i thought mine didn't get used much,i have done 7.5k miles in nearly 3 years of ownership :roll:
So i really do enjoy when it comes out of the box :lol: :lol:

They look great!!! Mind is now made up :D
They actually look really good in cream/white too.. i always thought of going a darker shade since the car will have black optics in time anyway, sort of keep in with the theme.
Now i'm wondering what would look more striking against the noggy painwork :?:
Great pics Jules, car looks awesome!

Looks awesome Jules!

I can't believe the cream goes so well with the Avus!

Cheers Virdee, Pomy
I nearly didn't post the picture as it really
doesn't do them any justice,they look so
much better in the flesh and you can really
see the curve in the alloy.I think once the
tints are lightened it will look even better
as you will see the interior working with it
better.I think when I get bored with cream
I will turn them into black editions.
Thanks again for kind words,and I'll see you
in a few weeks virdee ;0)
