Awesome. I'm going to go ahead and say I like bays over splits and I don't care who knows! |
That's the spirit! This one is a fine example too.

Quite the commotion over a poor little bus.
Well here's how it sits now...
They are indeed BBS reps, Enkei EK98 wheels to be exact. 15x7 with an offset of ET13 hence the need to "hammer out" the inner fender well to accommodate fitment  . I even drilled straight into the old German sheet metal just to slap on that silly cross view mirror. Sure helps when backing into parking spots

Enkei is a good brand in itself and these wheels therefore really aren't "BBS reps" IMO, they're Enkei EK98's. BBS reps are rubbish like BB5's and ESM's etc  Cool bus though, I like it!
