someone has clearly never been to any kind of european car show if they think wheel poke went out of style in the 80s I love how few people get out to car shows around here

Poke and stretch FTW. Your car can't look good without the correct stance

Lucky me - I've missed the Euro car shows. The car shows I tend to go to are for hot rods and customs. Definitely not the poke and stretch crowd.

We're in full agreement about correct stance. We may be off about just what that means...

If you show me one that you think is good, i will show you one that i like. (may require a new thread....or a PM, whichever one you prefer). I love seeing other people's opinions/thoughts. It's the best way to learn things

understood, but you put the red stickers on the lip! you can get black caps for $50 off ebay. The Subaru ones should fit...I had both STI BBS and my RG-F's at the same time.

I must get those 18" LMs.. I think there's a 5x130 18x8.5 with around 56offset for porsches.. or 18x8 with 50 offset for S2000s
Anyways, anyone have a picture of BBS REs preferably on a mini?

The porsche fitment is a 50 offset if I'm not mistaken. The smallest adapters are about 25mm, so that et25.. It'll poke out a tiny bit but will look SICK. Go for it! I'm hoping to do this myself one day lolol. If your interested I'll try to set you up with the wheels...

Read about them on my MINI Challenge Club Sport blog – TSRennsport.com
it's just a shame they couldn't keep the weight down on these, otherwise i'd sport em
