Flinkly Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Yikes! one shop wants 1k to strip and repaint all 4 wheels. Another wants $600. Am I barking up the wrong tree's or are these normal prices? both are for "normal" BBS silver and clearcoat. I guess I was thinking it'd be closer to $400-450 for the set... * Build Thread * 26.53 MPG - 12 month Average * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Two words - Plasti & Dip $7 EB's Subaru journal - 2005 LegacyGT Wagon & 2014 Forester FB25 (2008 specB - RIP) IG@legacygtliving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinkly Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Two words - Plasti & Dip $7 yeah, it's becoming real clear why people roll this way. I actually pulled a bad black plastidip job off them when I got them. didn't even clean the wheel first, or put on very many coats except the face. pain just to peel. was going to rattle can em too, with Wurth paint, but with a baby on the way, I just don't have the time these days, and expect to have none when she arrives. gah. need to become independently wealthy, quickly, somehow...

thestratomaster Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 yeah, it's becoming real clear why people roll this way. I actually pulled a bad black plastidip job off them when I got them. didn't even clean the wheel first, or put on very many coats except the very front. pain just to peel. was going to rattle can em too, with Wurth paint, but with a baby on the way, I just don't have the time these days, and expect to have none when she arrives. gah. need to become independently wealthy, quickly, somehow... I've gotten quotes for around $100 dollars a wheel for powder coat. This was a few years ago but I would expect it hasn't changed all that much. Maybe something worth looking into?

the kev master Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I actually got my set of BBS for free. A fellow racer posted on the local FB page and said free to good home, must go this weekend. I drove 4 hours to go snag them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinkly Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 called around a lot yesterday and got quoted 125 a wheel and lifetime warranty. not good for curb rash, but if it peels or yellows, i'm covered. in actuality, I'm only really looking for a 10-foot paintjob. just something clearner than what they are now, covered in chips and rash. Also gonna get a good deal on some DWS06's. finally rid of these terrible Dunlops I've ridden on for years... * Build Thread * 26.53 MPG - 12 month Average * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slightlysublime Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 question for the masses, i have an 08 Spec.B that i'm going to be picking up a set of 04 STi's sometime next week.. my question what size spacer do you guys recommend to get these wheels "flush" with the fenders? the car isn't a daily so i'm not worried about the wheel bearings etc.. i just cant stand the sunken in look of my stock Spec.B wheels granted it won't be as bad with the BBS' but it still won't sit how i prefer like with my 8.5's, and 9s that i have ran in the past. i know i could easily figure this out once i have the wheels and simply measure them but if anybody has done this before or know the perfect "size" i would like to go ahead and order spacers before i even get the wheels and get the car ready for transplant.. among the other things i'm working on. thanks in advance guys and cheers!

Flinkly Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 do ya'll wax (or something) your wheels to make cleaning a little easier? not that I can imagine wax surviving hot brake dust very well... * Build Thread * 26.53 MPG - 12 month Average * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 They're a little sunken IMO..

battelready Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Can anyone please tell me if stock 04 sti wheels will fit over black brembos from a 2015 sti? 100% will clear.

98legwag Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I am getting a set of 04 STI wheels. I am curious if any of you guys are running TPMS sensors in the wheels? I heard the sensors may not fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
