BBS... What are these?

[E30m42cab]

They look like a BBS RJ, but as far as I know, the RJ only came in a 6.5" width at 15" diameter with a higher ET (38) and less lip. Also, the RJ caps have dimples in them. I picked these up a few days ago, and haven't been able to find any info on them. The stamping in the middle speaks for the dimensions, but no model name. The lip is deeper than an RZ by about a quarter of an inch, and the entire face and lip are machined and cleared. Supposedly came here on a E30 imported from Germany many years ago. Other than that, I got nothin!

What do I have here?

Didn't these come in VWs?




How much did you pay for them?

[619E30]

Yeah. It looks like a VW wheel

[Danny]

RZ i think.

[E30m42cab]

I paid $450 for them... they need to be refinished too:(

If they were a VW wheel, wouldn't they have a higher offset, and if it were a RZ, the basketweave would continue onto the cap, would it not? I have 15" RZ "Euroweaves", and the lip is smaller on the RZ. I guess you can have different RZ's?

[Danny]

Yup

[Tonys18t]

dont think they are VW, never seen them on any model stock.

are they 4x100 for sure?

i think mazda used them for a while way back

[chadthestampede]

Whatever they are I want them.

[E30m42cab]

Yup, they're 4x100. The only other pic I can find of them is here:

No useful info though.

Oh, and a set on ebay:

Looks like the RZ style to me.

[E30m42cab]

Well, it's got all the same measurement numbers as an RZ, and 34 spokes, but other than that, there are no similarities between the "Euroweave" RZ and these. Flat face, machined, weave ends in a circle instead of continueing on the cap, cap snaps on instead of screwing on, wider lip, two tone, no RZ stamping... you could say it looks just as much like an RJ could you not? I know what it looks like, I was wondering if anyone had a firm lock on what they are. I though maybe someone here would have the same set and chime in.
