Here are some (old) pictures of my BB512i. I'll try to get more recent ones soon. I have had her for a little over ten years. She is from 1982, and is chassis number 40729. I bought her from Germany like she is on the picture (i.e. the previous owner did the modifications.)

Nice looking car, subtle mods, what wheels and tires do you have, those are not BBi items, do they work well.
The tires are Pirelli PZero with 345/35 ZR 15 for the rear, and 225/50 ZR 15 front. They work quite well although I can't really compare with stock wheels and tires having never driven with them. All I can say is that the car is very stable and stays glued to the road in high speed corners... The wheels are in fact Countach wheels hence the wider 345 rear tires and the body modifications to fit those.
Yes, sorry, my bad. The tires are the same as the countach. The wheels, are (I believe) custom made alluminium racing wheels. I am not sure about the details since I bought the car like that. I have to admit they look a lot like wheels on some pictures of BB512 LM. I am adding some pictures of the wheels as well as some old photos of the car.

Nice car, I know this is my personal point of view but please do something about that huge wheel gap! Lower it + slightly larger wheels? http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2639/4103927144_266614015d.jpg http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/1161/3327602c.jpg
I tried to. We looked into it with my dad (he used to be THE specialist at Ford Europe for supension and tires) but didn't find any solution at the time. The are no suitable tires that would fit the rims, compressing the springs is not an option since the car is already too low. The only option we found was custom made racing rims to fit modern tires. But appart from the cost, I thought it would change the look of the car too much... Now, if you guys have some suggestions, I am always open to advices...
