    Busted BBS rims......



    I found these for sale $150. 15x7 4x100 BBS. Does that look repairable?
    How much would I be looking at ballpark..for repair of one wheel and refinish of all 4?

    Wheel repair can run anywhere from $75 to $125 a wheel. As long as the damage on those has not reached the actual spoke part of the wheel, shops will typically fix them.

    Personally, I think those wheels are overpriced to begin with. BBS RA wheels typically are worth no more than $250 in perfect/good shape.

    I wouldn't pay more than $40 for that particular set if thats what you really have your eyes set on.

        Remove them from your car, clean them inside and out. I prefer Meguiar's Wheel Brightener to clean. Re-finish the paint if needed & slap on some 10mm spacers.

        Found this on BFC in the detailing forum...look how clean these wheels look after they used that cleaner.

            I wish I could find some flush center caps to replace the stock ones.....I think that and some spacers along with some lug nut covers to flush up the face of the wheel would look tits...I have searched everywhere for the center caps with no luck...even went to home depot and searched the plumbing isle thinking I might be able to fit some sort of plastic plug. Any ideas?

              There is not one goddamn thing you can do to bottle caps to make them acceptable as anything beyond hose reels or winter rollers.

                you could cut the sides off of the original center cap making it shorter?
