BBS Garage: All things BBS

Swap the lips and keep them in the same front and rear.

[-negrito-]

Question, I purchased a set of BBS RS 021 and I believe the front will poke out too much, I dont know much on proper offset.

Specs:
5x120
Front:16x8 et11
Rear: 16x9 et24

Just want to confirm are they doable? If they do poke, I am planning to widen the fenders either way.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: forgot to mention Im going to use adapters

Just picked up these RZs and I want to make them look like new again. How should I go about polishing the lips and addressing some of the areas pictured? I've never polished wheels before and I don't want to buy a product or do anything stupid that will damage them.

You have to get rid the clear coat to clean those worm. After the coat gone, you'll need to wet sand it until its gone. Then you'll need to polish it with metal polish to make it shine. Those curb rashed can be fixed easily by manual grinder.

There are lots of detailed information of refinishing your wheels on the web. Good luck.

I'm also debating on stripping the centers and having them repainted. There seems to be some kind of overspray specs which annoy me.

Anyway, can somebody please tell me what supplies I need to help me get started on refinishing these? Like what do I use to remove the clear coat, what grit of sand paper should I use, recommended polishes, etc? Thanks.

What are you guys doing to re finish the bolts without buying new? Mine were all corroded so I soaked them in vinegar over night, the clear has come off them now and they are much shinier like I had hoped. Whats the best way to protect them? Fresh coat of clear or just keep them polished/waxed up?
Thanks, Ill post some new pics as I start to rebuild them.

How did you get down to 2280lbs?

Completely stripped, 1 fiberglass seat, fiberglass front and rear bar, smaller fuel tank, no heater/fan box... basically anything that doesn't serve a purpose on the track isn't there...

Just bought these RS 101 15x7 +38 off yahoo japan for ~$300USD



just have to wait for them to get to me....

From what i can see, i should be able to run 2" lips for 15x8.5 +18 and 2.5" lips for 15x9 +12 (perfect backspace for clearing e30 front struts as far as im aware...) Added bonus is the RS101 are 57.1 centrebore, ill just have to redrill them to 4x100...

Now to decide if i run 15x9 square or 15x8.5/9 staggered....

Anyone know what some old bbs off a 635csi are?

Looking at some. gold centered, 34 bolt hole.

How much are they worth in good condition?

thanks

Look under the center cap, they should either be rs211, or rs005, or there is a few others it could be.

Usually worth between $800-$1100 in good shape.

Hi all,

I was lucky to find some BBS RS at a very fair price and got them. I do, however, have some questions if you could please enlighten me:

Dimensions:
15x6 (4x100)
et38

Questions:
1. Does et38 will fit an E30 and look accordingly? Or should I get some 10mm wheel spacers? Planning on using them with 205/50 tire...
2. Where can I find the center caps for those? What are the options?

This is one of the wheels:

Thanks,

Oh, I apologize. I was thrown off by the Hartges.

I tried to find some, but without any luck. Hope you have better results!
