    U can't whack on deep dish rims under these cars, unless u shorten the rear. u can only get wide rims but forget deep dish.

    theres plenty of bbs lm reps on ebay, but do it right, save up the cash and get a set made to your requirements, measure up the car, and work out what size and offset you can go, then drop the cash

    Theres a guy near me has an 06 SS-V. He has rims on that have about 2.5 - 3" dish on the rear, it looks absolutely fantastic. I'd probably do some more shopping around before
    settling on those BBS, they look a bit 80's for me but each their own. Regardless what you go with, shop around is the important thing and ebay doesn't necessarily mean
    bargain by any stretch.

    yeah i like them .. but what i might do is just buy a set up HP mesh rims and powder coat them gold and keep the machined lip.

    My rears are also dished the sizes up front are 245/35/20 and the rears 275/30/20. that is the same fitment as the HSV's running the gts wheels. I got my wheels through SSW.

    That depends on what you consider deep dish.

    HSV's are 245/35R20 fronts on 48p offset 20x8.5 rims and 275/30R20 rears on 56p offset 20x9.5 rims

    56p 20x9.5 should still be able to get a 3 inch dish/back spacing so it is possible just wont be know crazy 7 inch FnF style dish


    Just googled your BBS wheels $1100 each? better off buying Simmons......

    That's got more to do with running a spastic offset - resulting in deep dish.

    Find as many examples as you please.

    I love the look of some dish. I just picked these up from the states.
    Couldn't be happier. If u want dish I gotta do some research. There aren't many around but the ones that are out there look good
