What is this wheel? BBS 2 piece

[JasonC]

I got this wheel at a local junk yard for $35.00. it is a 2 piece bbs 15x8 four lug. it was on a 85 325e 4dr. I did not see the other mates anywhere around. I would like to know what rim this is and where I could get some more like it and how much they usally run for new or used.

there was only one wheel?

[JasonC]

Saddly yes but i'm going back next week to look in the weeds around the car,they was taller then me! there was only two wheels on the car this one and a bottle cap. plus i did a search and found out what it was. I put it on the car to see what it looked like now I got to find 3 more. It looks so much better then the painted bottle caps.

i was looking at it, it looks like a 3 piece wheel,corect me if i'm wrong

[fporro]

yeap, that looks like a 3 piece BBS RS 003

they'll ususally run you $ 350 ea. and up if in great /perfect shape, a refurbish set cost about 2 g's.

if you don't find the otherones and decide to sell it, them please email me cus i need spare parts for my set. specially the center metal knob and cap.

good luck,
Frank

It's definitely a BBS RS 003. 3 piece wheel, and it definitely has some aftermarket lips. So you won't be finding one that looks like it for cheap any time soon.

Like fpooro said, in good condition with those deep lips they run for $2k and up.

These are my personal wheels, 15x8 BBS RS 003:





Look at the bolts that hold the wheel together, if the say BBS in tiny little letters on the top of the bolt, they have original hardware. Which is good.

That one wheel will truly do you no good, with out another $1,000 + dollars to finish the set.

Here are some links to check out what a Gem you found.

If you decide to sell it, let me know.

Oh and, that wheel looks pretty deep, do you have any rubbing issues with it? And what size tires are on the wheel?

I always thought rs003's were 16x7" ET25....am I mistaken?

[JasonC]

i looked at the center of the wheel it said:
RS 002
8Jx15H2
ET12
03.84
tire size 195/60r when i put it on the car it did not rub the wheel well but it did look like the front fenders would need to be rolled. plus the bolts did say bbs on the outer lip

[SoCal Life]

Nice, Well either way they are RS's and not RM's!!

The lip looks very deep. I highly doubt that they would be stock, but that et looks right. You'd have to take the tire off the really see. If they are 8" wide then they would most likely be stock, but those lips look at least 2"/2.5" deep. I like how deep they are!! I want to make mine like that.

[JasonC]

i measured them the lip is 2 1/2" and the wheel is 9" from back lip to front lip

Noice!!!!!

I will definitely be getting my hands on some 2.5" lips!!!!!
