Well I’m a wheel whore I admit it I like nice rims! So if a set of wheels appear that need a bit of work I’m always willing to have a look. At the start of the year a set of 18″ Mercedes Avantguards came up on Edition 38 that had been paint stripped but needed finishing off. So I stripped them down and gave them to Rainbow Polishers to have mirror polished. Rainbow did an amazing job they looked the business but, I was going to have some stretched rubber put on them then put them on my MK5 Golf.

But I’m only keeping the Golf till early next year when I’ll be having my mom’s A3 so there’s no real point in doing much to it. So I was thinking of selling the Mercedes rims until a set of Audi A6 BBS split rims showed up on Edition 38. I pm’d the guy selling them and asked if he was interested in a straight swap for my mercs which he agreed to so now I have these 19″ x 9″ BBS rims for the Audi.

They need stripping and polishing so they will be off to Rainbow in the near future I’ll post the finished result when there done.
