Had my satin black new Arc-8s flow formed version over painted in gloss black then lacquered.

The design pays homage to earlier BBS designs and is CSL ish.

The 275/30 and 235/35 19 Contis have a very chunky rim protectors..given my track record on kerbing that should prove useful.🙈

Very please so far..time to pop them on..need 5mm front spacers to get closer to standard offsets..

Here’s hoping they don’t rub..

Will be interesting to see if they address the ‘numb’ feeling of the Michelin PS4S… :tumbleweed:

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard..

Very nice, but you need to black up those Contis with some tyre treatment. 8)
