Loved the retro feel of this video. The Harlekin BBS Centercaps are so damn cool! I've been looking for months for a set of CitiSport rims, but now after I've heard all of this, I may go for an aftermarket rim, which is more customizable. Love your collection.

[@azharebrahaim9189]

Citi sport wheel even myself cuz

[@maxnaidoo2152]

@@azharebrahaim9189 Mate, they're nowhere to be found. Brand-new VW charge R20k for a set LMAO!

[@TodayGarage]

Soooo stoked to see people pushing DIY and genuine car love. Really appreciate your style!

[@bwill2663]

[@boomchuchu8980]

This is honestly super helpful. I'm super new to this and bro actually went in depth enough for me

[@teamzfg6553]

Only found your channel recently and what a find it was! Awesome content! Thanks from 🇬🇧

[@rr40v8]

What a great video, thanks. I really love your enthusiasm for wheels 👍

[@MrIntercoolers]

Thanks for sharing your fab collection :)

[@lwandamhlongo4389]

I totally understand why it's so important for wheels to be original. When I started my project car, I searched high and low for original AMG Monoblock Aero II wheels and I eventually found a set in Cape Town. I didn't want to put anything else on the car because my mind was set on those. I eventually found a second set but of super rare original staggered ones I don't plan on ever selling them.

[@krokodilsnoppen]

I envy your wall, i got mine started with a set of azev type a's and a set of Porsche Turbo twists.

[@eur0mess]

I was waiting for the Corvettes and Jeeps wheel trend to be brought up lol. Such a great collection of car’s, and wheel’s!

[@qu4ttro0]

That was really fun, thanks!

[@lnrbry]

[@zeferreira3316]

Amazing video amazing guy,just can’t believe you didn’t talk about the p-zeros on your wall.

[@rydenlucas83]

Insane wheel Colection bro

[@JamieOrr]

Thanks :-D

[@illaarocc9469]

Wheels make or break the car. So this is important! You got a nice collection! Especially these brasilian rims do look nice. The Nissan wheel, I didn't know that.... I also appreciate the knowledge on customising. Will talk to the TÜV :)

[@guslima340]

Great vídeo Jamie! Orbital's are classic

[@user-qj8wu8dw5k]

i never will understand why people redrill genuine bbs rs, that hurt my heart 🥺.. thanks for the entertaining video, cheers from another bbs rs maniac ✌🏻

[@mikaw5624]

I saw some ronal turbo's in the corner 😍😍

[@juniorcapaz]

Orbital+quadrados=👌

[@woopimagpie]

Wheels wheels and more wheels. Excellent stuff. Next time you get a chance come to Australia and check out the wheels here. Simmons, Neales, ROH, CSA (makers of the famous "Bathurst Globes"), Dragway, and many more. There's a huge JDM following here too, so you'll find all that stuff as well. And like every enthusiast scene, there's learning which rims go best with which car. Got a VL Commodore? Gotta be the steelies. XY Falcon? Bathurst Globes. Or the incomparable Simmons that goes with anything. Beware though - you'll need another shelf for your wall once you see what's here. At the very least you need a set of Bathurst Globes. And a set of Simmons. Always thought the tried and trusted V5s were hard to beat, but you do you.

[@toyotabrony]

When Bob Ross is a JDM lover. 💥😎👌🏼 I freakin love rare JDM classic Japanese wheels. 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@mattv7012]

Started my collection with a set of BBS RC’s from an e39 5 series. Came free on my car lol

[@JamieOrr]

Nice!

[@VishalVoraUK]

A great video - can you provide some more information on the brand EXIP?

[@chapel976]

I see those original fifteen52 RML Snowflakes. My boy Pat has those on his Scirocco II from one of the first runs they made of those with the black accents.

[@nickblacksoul4318]

Hm .... I like wheels I think the RS bbs are top range too ... I am looking to buy 3or 2 piece , the thing is I can get them kinda cheap but wanted something that will keep value or grow value ,what should I look for brands? Good looks ? Country of manufacture ?

[@19speeedy88]

Hey Jamie, do you have any SFJ BBS 3 piece wheels?

[@pir4t464]

Meu sonho ter legenda em seus videos😅 mas mesmo assim deixo o like por seu trabalho!!

One of my personal favs are Bbs RZ Corrado g60 wheel!!! I would sell my soul for a Rallye Golf😢

[@suomenmankimies2131]

Do a video about steel wheels ;)

[@wingmangt]

Could you go more in depth into PCD conversion for wheels? I have a set of Advan Sa3r in 4x114.3 I would like to convert to 4x100

[@Tom_pr]

You can this set in a lot of places. Will cost 200-300 i guess. And those conversionsets will make your wheel come out 25mm or more. Keep that in mind..

[@wingmangt]

@@Tom_pr I'm not talking about spacers mate. His wheels have a new pcb re-drilled, probably welded also. That is why i need info so I can keep the offset.

[@derekverduyn3819]

I bought a set of bbs style 5 off Craigslist. Staggered 18x8 and 18x9. Would these be considered rare as they are normally 17”?

[@JamieOrr]

Nice! Yes, 18"s are definitely more unusual than the 17" :-)

[@phacedown1921]

In addition to fake bolts, I also REALLY dislike multi PCD wheels. A bunch of bolt holes in the middle screams cheap.

[@jimmystuck8969]

Where to find these “anywhere you possibly can

[@Justa4banger79]

BBS IS THE RIM. FLAT OIT THE BEST STYLE RIM THEY LOOK AWESOME ON MY STANG

Does anyone know a collector or is willing to sell Irmscher 15in rims for a VC Brock 81. I’m trying to find for a gift for my husband.

[@Fatmonster93]

Everybody loves the rs but nobody wants to talk about the rz

[@ShalomBrother]

Next video: your car collection

[@Perceni]

Did KW buy solowerks? I thought engineers from KW just went and made their own brand with no relationship to KW.

[@JamieOrr]

There is a ownership stake, and production is sourced from KW factories :-)

I love weird wheels, rare wheels l hate being a sheep and following the heard. I loved ats cups before they were done to death. Next time your in the UK have a look at image split rims they have been making 2 and 3 piece for years all made to order. If you fancy a nice set of 15s that are 4x100 with a motorsport vibe have a look a phase one Renault clio 16v wheels very like compos images.app.goo.gl/vGQpoEW4ERrskYV27 or if your brave try France for Renault alpine wheels

[@fatman1288]

most of these wheels are fugly!

[@anywaystohighway]

rare? A chinese five year old is prolly producing these right now
