BBS Bandwagon FTMFL!
Those who have seen my group buy attempt or my post in the classifieds selling my Brabus wheels know that the mod bug has convinced me to get some new shoes. I want to let the guys in the group buy know that I will continue to try and organize it, but for obvious reasons will no longer be buying the V715's. Now onto the pic whoring...

The wheels are Diamond Black finish 1-piece forged BBS RG-R 18x8" (35ET + 12mm spacer = 23ET) & 18x9" (30ET) on Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S 225/40/18 & 255/35/18. As far as I know, I'm the only W203 with these wheels and I must say I'm extremely pleased so far with the fit, finish, and overall quality of my first set of BBS wheels. Many thanks to K1 Motorsport for hooking me up with an incredible deal. As always, customer service was top notch. K1 FTMFW!
As always, constructive criticism is welcomed with open arms. Thanks for looking!

I needed the 12mm spacer to clear the brakes because of the front lip and spoke design/thickness. I have razor thin caliper clearance as it is and the tire is not even flush with the fender.

Oooooh boy, nice job on everything on your coupe. Your coupe is exactly what I want mine to look!
Now I know I really need to update all my lights.
Oh yeah I really like those street names . . .CHEAPSKATE and TIGHTWAD

Thanks for the compliments, guys! ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
ChristianJan: I already swore I was done modding the coupe, so who knows...
CoupeCrazy03: Those are custom street signs one of our growers' sons had made for the front of his house in the country. I stopped by on the way to work and snapped a quick pic.
Jose: You know you're welcome anytime bro. Hopefully we can organize a BBQ/swim party sometime in the near future. I'm holding out on the camera as long as I can... I'll leave the fancy photos to you experts!
MJ: No plans to sell them... yet!
Jay: You mean IF the VMR's come in. They're not even on order yet because VMR has yet to confirm fitment.
Phil: No p-shops here bro... those were just scenic shots I decided to take on my drive to work this morning.

No offense to those that are planning on getting the VMR's, but SO glad you didn't go Replica, B! You know my feeling about that.
As expected, the new shoes look crazy hot on your car! Match perfect. Since you have a similar color to my homeboy's 335i, I already knew it would look good. Actually, on your car, it looks even more aggressive!
Good choice, bro! Good choice!

I've had BBS forged RGRs on my 2002 Coupe for almost 2 years now, and have been very happy with them. Also diamond black metallic, but I stuck with 17x8s and 225/45s all around (same as stock w/ my C7 package). They look very nice on my brilliant silver coupe - I'd imagine they'd look great on a black w203 as well. I bought the wheels and tires as a package from Tire Rack, with Fuzion ZRi's all around. Was impressed to see that the also came with really nice alloy valve stems and BBS stem caps.
I will say though, even with 17s, I managed to bend the lip on the FR wheel with a nasty (and unforunately unavoidable) pothole at highway speed. Fortunately, Wheels America was able to fix it for me... replacing even a 17 isn't cheap.
