those would look good with black centers. you'll want to check they fit though.

needs to be 100 pcd and around +42 > +45 offset (assume BG is similar to BA?)

The guy has no idea. All he knows is that they are not deep dish and are pretty much a standard 17"

and So Fresh- after seeing those rims on your BG.. I wouldnt mind keeping mine now lol. They look awesome.

Damn this website for making me like my car again... haha.

Chep ish mod for parcel shelf (pics in my rides)

thick perspex cut to shape of parcel shelf
bit of thin steel cable to hook on to hatch door
i used some stainless steel cornice to support perspex(for some reason i made 2 pieces)
and led tube ripped aprt and wired to boot light
drilled 5ml holes in edge of perpex and glues led into the holes

alternatively you could hook the leds up to a speaker or sub ( sub woul be better....more power) howevre THIS IS ILLEGAL IF USING WHILE DRIVING AS IT IS A DISTRACTION and im pretty sure that goes for any colors

best thing to do is check local regulations

i am going to as well except i have stripped the vinyl and foam (was all cracked and ripped to hell) so my dash is bare plastic atm which i would imagine is easier to prep and paint then withe the vinyl and foam ( which i would imagine the paint would crack and peel when someone pushes on the dash)
