WTB: BBS RS 16" w/low offset (for 2002)

[dclemme]

Anything of interest. 8"+9" preferred.

It won't be easy... at all.

To get the combination of low offset, 16", and dish on a 4x100 BBS RS set... you'll have to spend big bucks on some RS003s (figure 3k for a refinished, widened set... or 1500-2000 stock)

You could also get a set in 5x130, and adapt or redrill (a bit tricky)... and proceed to widen them as necessary. Still probably $1500+ if you're lucky and know where to look.


In any case, your options are extremely limited... unless your wallet is very deep. good luck.

I know, and won't be expecting any 500$ offers any time time soon.

IMHO 15" are the best for 2002

[dclemme]

I'd definately take 15" as well.
But where to find any with a low offset...?

Look for some E21 fitment on Ebay.de

Or build your own for much less dough.

Truth, www.felgen-garage.de wanted $4,000 for a set of refinished 16x9 and 16x10 RS's redrilled to 4x100.

If you buy RS's in hopes of redrilling them make sure the back of the wheel hub is flat with only the lug holes. You cannot redrill an RS wheel that has the raised star hub on the backside or other holes beside the lug holes.

it seems that you are very smart and efficient in building the RMs, you should really do it for profit instead of lowballing my set ;)

Yup, I'm confused with his "ZOMG it willz cost lots of monies" to "Build a completely new set for less than $2k"

Only a few posts away from each other.

There is a gent in my neck of the woods who has, or had, a set or rs's for his VW. I know he had them for sale for a while. Damn purdy. Here's the link to the tex.

Which is why I have sold 41 sets of wheels in the last 2 years: RS003, RS001, RMs, LMs, RFs, you name it... Make the current set of RSs on here #42. Thanks for the suggestion though.
