Finally got some good pictures of my wagon with the new shoes. Specs: BBS RG-R, 17x8, forged, ~17lbs each, 5x120, et40, 22mm front adapters & 28mm rear adapters. Tires are 225-45-17 Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I'm pretty happy with the new setup.

Yes, it would look good on the internet if it were lower, but it would take away from the functionality and it looks wonderful as is.

Thanks! Coilovers would be nice, but between these and the m90 swap I've gotta chill on spending for a while. The car handled pretty nicely before, but the super sports have taken it up a notch; it's a great balance of comfort and handling.

RGR is seriously one of the best looking wheels BBS made, lighter than LM's by far, elegant and works on classic and modern cars (unlike RS that only works on older vehicles).

Thanks Sam. I'm a huge fan of the look of the 2 and 3 piece wheels, but I really wanted a wheel that was under 20lbs per corner. I also wanted something with a more aggressive spoke design than the Style 5's I had on my 740. These popped up for a reasonable price and were the right offset to adapt to my preferences/look. I only compared them on a bathroom scale, but this wheel/tire combo looks to be a bit lighter than the 16x6.5 Perfos with 205-55s I ran previously. It's a win-win.
 
Awesomeness.

The only ting I wouldn't like about that setup is cleaning those wheels, but I don't think that's an issue for you.

Haha, not a big deal for me. The style 5s on my old 740 were worse. I've had meshies on my Bolbos since 1996, it's all I've ever known...
 
I had some mesh BBS wheels on my old VR6 Jetta. Such a royal PITA to clean in all those little nooks and crannies. When I got my 245, I took off the similarly styled Scorpius wheels, and the smooth 5 spokes I replaced them with were selected half for the ease of cleaning. (in addition to being 17X7.5)

But there's no doubt, they look awesome.
