Thanks for the commentsUnfortunately the guys at the smash repairs love taking their time so pics of them on the car won't be possible for a while
Alex, I'll be using 195/50R15 tyres on them so I'd imagine there'd be some decent stretch, nothing mad though! Dom, 9" in the rear is too hardcore for me!
It costs $75/each for new barrels, $85/each for removing the original centres out and fixing them back onto the new barrels, and $40/each for powdercoating. This included sandblasting and other prep work. Fantastic price for the powdercoating finish, but of course, you get what you pay for - the powdercoat wasn't as thick as I would have imagined, and a spot wasn't prepped right before the powdercoating so it showed up in the finish, but it's all minor. All up, it was a smidge less than $900 including the wheels itself and hubcaps
And yeah, it was an abandoned BBS RS that was lying around a shop/garage. I offered to buy it and the guy was kinda dumbfounded haha. He asked for $20![]()

Ray, where did your $40 quote come from? I cleaned my VR stockies again today and I keep feeling sooo dissapointed after cleaning them because they've got areas where paint has come off and they're still grubby in some nooks/crannies, so a re-spray is becoming more of a priority!
