    Hahahah glad to be of service!

    Hmm, I can't get them plugged, then redrilled and matched to the same gold?
    Adapters will cost more, take me longer to get them on, and probably give me too much poke!

    Staggered, thats the way mate Been waiting for someone to do it, hard to pull off, but can look tops when done right. Tyres are going to have to be pretty skinny to get some stretch so you can go nice and low...
    Really nice wheels though, and yes you should be able to get them plugged, drilled and re painted. What are they anyway?
    Look forward to seeing them on the car buddy

    Hey James,

    Well here's hoping I get it right!
    I don't want massive stretch, but if I need to for clearance and maintaining a "similar" circumference
    I haven't enquired about the drilling etc, that will be a new years job.

    What are they? All I know is Porsche/BBS/Mahle wheel...as far as BBS and model code I have no idea? Maybe Preeny knows?

    They're Porsche 911 forged wheels made for BBS by Mahle. Pretty rare. Like rockinghorse poo. The centres alone would be worth $100 each. They came in 2 diameters (15 and 16) and these aren't an actual "set", as they didn't originally come as a staggered package. That's why i offered them to you at a good price. If they were a set they would be worth well over $2000 (WELL over).

    Post a pic of the centres! I love the centre caps.

    Shiza, very rare looking centrecaps and I don't even know a thing about them. Here's hoping you can make them look good bro!

    Fair point, well made Alex.
    I'll do a trial fit over the hols and get some numbers to work out what size adapters. Could end up being solid stretch, even with only 15mm adapters...
