FS: BBS RS 15" ET18 - excellent condition

better take that offer lowlight sent to you earlier just with shipping added on :)

[hexagone]

I once bought a set of 4x114.3 RSs on eBay with intentions to redrill and had to flake out after I realized they had a Honda centerbore (in the 60s) [which cannot be redrilled safely].

I'm not sh*tting on your thread, I just want to inform people about drilling (most) 4x114 wheels to 4x100- since centerbores are larger and the new bolt holes would end up awfully close to the centerbore.

no thanks, if i don't get what i am looking for i will just piece them out...

lips and centre caps alone are worth $500

you should be able to fetch 1000 on vortex for sure, and definitely just as much on a honda forum.

ok thanks, i'll give vortex a shot..

not trying to rip anyone off on here, thought i was posting a fair set of rims at a fair price...

i will go home and check the RS number and measure the centrebore on the wheels (I believe they are 60.1, which leaves alot of room for 4X100 redrilling).

Can you redrill a 60.1mm center bore into a VW-BMW 57.1mm? Beware of vibrations.

honda-tech would jump on these wheels. there are several honda/acura models that these wheels were made for originally. i was hoping to put them on my wife's 96 accord. good luck with the sale. id also bet that the center caps wont fit 4x100 rs faces. ive had a set of 4x114 and 4x100 RS's and the caps were completely different. and i just sold a set of good condition (no curbage) 1" 001 lips for 200 shipped. im just trying to inform you of real world RS pricing, ive dealt with several sets of these wheels in varying conditions.

sorry I do not understand your question?

i am assuming that you are able to redrill a larger center bore into almost an wheel unless it is unsafe.

[lowlightbw]

youll need spacers not a redrill

[Massive Lee]

sorry I do not understand your question

Well, the center bore must be 57.1mm sharp. The CB on your wheel is 60.1mm acording to your info. Therefore, the wheels will be loose on the hub, and they will vibrate.

My point is that "simply redrilling" to 4 x 100mm is not a magic operation, and is not suitable, nor safe.

what are you talking about? do you know what a spacer is?

they are used to change offset and not alter bolt patterns.

these wheels are et18 why would you want to lower the offset anymore?

adapters alter bolt patterns

picture of the centre attached, the centre bore has plenty of room for redrilling 4x100


Lee:
I am not even going to waste my time with you, first you talk about redrilling centre bores, which doesn't make any sense since the wheels already have a larger centre bore. Second, a simple set of hub centering rings will solve the diff in hub bores, if you have any interest in the wheels i will purchase the rings for you, and if you don't please leave this thread, you have not made any valid points.

[Massive Lee]

My fellow Canuck.

You have exhibited very clearly that you had absolutely no idea of what a wheel requires to fit. You pretty clearly demonstrated you didn't know that a wheel must have the same center bore as the hub it goes on or it will vibrate.

You simply say that a simple "edrilling" is needed to make your lousy JApanese spec wheels fit a BMW. Yeah Sure.

Keep of the board and aim to any VW or Honda forum where people have about the same expertise as you do. That will be an easy sale.

Good luck with the sale- if I'm not mistaken- that is most likely a 56mm (miata) centerbore and can be easily machined to 57.1. Furthermore- redrilling those shouldn't be an issue either as they're flat backs.
