That's an excellent size for our cars! Was that a 5x120mm bolt pattern? The BBS RK's seem super common in BMW sizes

There are now 4 different sizes of RK's in this thread.

chutrain · 03-10-2013, 04:31 PM

Yeah, 5x120. Great size indeed.

Found a guy locally for $500. Might pick them up.

I love these things. Anyone get them installed permanently? I know they came on a few camrys too. All x114.5 though probably. Really love the look. Wish XXR would give a rep a run. Their wheels seem to be pretty flippin good for the price.

I can't say I've ever seen them on a camry. Strange. Saab's and some Subaru's, yes, as a dealer option.

Anyways, thanks to the perfect opportunity, a friend/forum member selling his OEM tires and my friend buying new wheels for his Legacy....I've managed to acquire the RK's. Light wheels + light tires = win.

They look much better now that the car's lowered.

Andros Spec D from Tire Rack is a pretty close copy.

Yeah no kidding that looks sweet dude! I love how you did the taillights. Almost like it better than my valentis. Here's a link to a camry thread, a few posts down there's a couple of an SE with them on it, they were OE. 2006 SE I believe

Yeah I saw those! I rather like them, though I don't think I can turn away from XXRs at the price, they're backordered like 4-5 months, which means I'll see a lot of people with my wheels. Not a huge deal but.... staying unique is nice. XXR makes a pretty decent wheel though. Don't know much about Andros, but I like em. Thanks for the links!

This is mostly cosmetic, but I picked up a set of BBS RK's for Autocross purposes (stock size, less weight) and want to paint them because of surface scrapes/etc.

I know that the "colored wheel" trend is big right now, and I've done all the normal colors on my old Impreza (Gold, Silver, Gunmetal, Black) so I'm looking to do something different...

I used GT5 to modify the colors of the BBS wheels in the game to get an idea of what they might look like on my GBS BRZ, wondering what the FT86 guys would think of this...

Anthony · 09-14-2013, 03:53 AM

What color is your car? I can't see the pictures.

DAEMANO · 09-14-2013, 04:38 AM

the lighter of the two reds gets my vote

Muskokan · 09-14-2013, 04:57 AM

Green, not many cars can pull it off that good.. Providing that's the colour of your car.

Bmore_Raven86 · 09-14-2013, 06:17 AM

Baby blue looks cool

YMAA · 09-14-2013, 06:49 AM

White would be my first choice, with a nod to the darker of the two reds.

Just to throw out another option, can you do a gunmetal color in GT5? That might look interesting on GBS.
