At least it rolls on 17s.

Go fill out a job application and maybe next year you can afford for some 22s on that thing.

I want to get the BBS LM or RS-GT. I've seen them on an ML before and thought they looked sharp. Wanting to get them is one thing. Convincing my parents to let me do it is another.

Edit: Oh and upgrading the brakes is an obvious thing.

I wouldn't mind seeing a picture of those wheels on the truck. The rims in the picture remind me of the old BBS with gold face and polished lip, I believe they used to be called the crosslace at least by people on the street? My friend has them on his Porsche 928

At the risk of going off topic anymore....BBS RX-II, but you get the idea.

LOL, as I was writing this post I was wondering how braking performance for these brakes would be if they fit on a Mini Cooper...

So you must know what the recent hoopla about BBS has been about then...? Some rumor about bankruptcy.

They did indeed file for bankruptcy. Other companies tried to bail them out but the German banks were not having it and made them file. They will be bought out and business should hopefully continue as usual.
