Jim thinks they will look bad. I think they'll be hot. Guess I need to find out.

Jim just wants them for the S80. :P

I don't think he ever felt them. He likes large diameter - he's more into girth generally I think. I'm more a believer in design and how you use it. :huh:

I can understand that. Makes sense.

It's gonna snow on Sunday. I guess I need to put the fake BBS back on? I hate pandering to small children with BBS RS-looking wheels, but they are the only wheels with snows mounted...

Get the adaptors from the ol' skool 855s and run the fake BBS RS style wheels due to the chance of snow. That way your covered for snow and show, later. I couldn't agree with you more Jeremy, like the design aspect opposed to a larger diameter. However, I do understand the coolness of larger diameter wheel. I'd still go for the design over diameter, IMO.
