    Yes they look nice, but are a pain to clean if you drive it.

          sweet!!!

          Those look to be one of the 'maybes' I have in mind for my '54 Commander Regal 4 door sedan~



          I am glad to see they fit a Studebaker, and look so good!!!

              Lookin' good. You added a Studebaker to a set of Lincoln wheels. That's a Hot Rod Lincoln.

                  Yes, agree they look really nice.

                  No, I'll not be using them again. I had one set of those from BBS a few years back. They were such a PITA to clean, I got rid of them after a year.

                    Nice car....and neat wheels, but having seen (too?) many of the BBS style wheels on 80s "Miami Vice"-era (all white) BMWs (it seemed they all had them), it will take awhile for me to get used to them on a Studebaker.

                      Those are really good looking wheels. I have seen them on several Studebakers over the years and they had a good touch to each and every one of them. We have BBS wheels on our 2001 VW Jetta. They were part of the Wolfsburg package. I have never found them too difficult to clean. Power washing is a wonderful thing.

                        yep! and taking a "Mothers Power Ball" (or similar) - trim to fit the top (like a cone) to get into the "nooks", with a little of your favorite wheel cleaner/polish will help if needed. also works with "wires".

                              I like the Lincoln wheels better. BBS wheels are very popular wheels that look much like he Lincoln wheels you are using.
