    Ive been thinking about painting my BBS Ra's black, and was wondering if anyone could paint them for me on photoshop.

    The initial idea was to refurbish them back to there original state, but after seeing a few black MK2’s with black wheels , i have chosen to go down this route as they look great.

    Would like to see them completely black, and also black with the silver dish.

    Would be much appreciated. Cheers :thumbup:

    Any good mate? Just a quick job I'm afraid. Thought you'd want them on your car?

    I reckon the silver lettering on the centrecaps will help set them off. Maybe even silver caps?

    Was thinking the same thing. Will most likely keep the originals on there.

    Sort of like this - (But without the silver dish!!)

    Black wheels always suit a black car imo.

    I would love a set of black Pro Race 1.2's, but will stick with these for the meantime...

    I like 'um silver, I think all black is too much and prefer the more OE look the car has currently, oh and danster, is that the rare husky edition 'rocco, don't see many these days as many people binned the dog and fitted a standard alarm instead

    That's one hairy chick driving that 'rocco!

    If you decide to go the black route I would suggest you get powder-coated black then blow the outer rim in silver: that was the way that BBS did them for the Sportline Mk1 Golfs & powder will be more resistant to brake dust than a rattle can. :-)

    yeah these have "wolfsburg edition" black centre caps - I don't know, they came with the wheels when I bought them (bargain) so I've kept them! :lol:
