BBS Garage: All things BBS

[formula driver]

Yeah, I'm thinking of 15x8 front and 15x9 rear just for shits & giggles.

Do you think the ET38 will have issues with clearing the shock / brakes without a spacer? I have the 5mm spacers already, so that'd bring the offset to ET33 (closer to bottlecap fitment).

Also, I'm unable to seperate the parts of the wheel because of whatever sealant BBS used, and my oven is too small to stick the wheel in to loosen it up. Any pointers?

If you cant get the wheels apart with a mallet...

Cut the seal with a razor, all the way around (should do this anyway), and use a heat gun around the entire seam. Do it for a few minutes, and the halves should split quite easily...

Are any of the mods able to put the RS010 on the list just so others have the information?

Originally, they have .5" lips, 15x7 ET38 5x112

Edit: They also come off of Audis.

Thanks a lot rav.


Damn, wish those waffles were gold, Teaguer. Well, send 'em my way. Do you have an unshipped price? I have a FedEx account that I'd like to bill shipping to.

Also, your inbox is full.

Just cleared it and pm sent.

ET33 is fine to clear stock brake calipers, RM's are this ET to start out with in 15" and have no problem. So keep the 5mm spacer.

Seperating the lips and barrel if the oven is tooooo small, you'll need a rubber mallet, and a bit of force.
Don't worry, you won't hurt the wheel.:D

With an ET of 38, you could replace the dishes with 3" on the rears,a dn use a 5mm spacer.
Will give a deep dish wheel look for the rear, and maybe a 2" for the front.

Here's Phase I, sitting in the trunk of the E39; No stowed golf-club jokes, please,



I apologize for the horrible pictures, but I can't get anything good to come out of my cheap camera so my phone takes over.

Here's one wheel cleaned up a bit with the bolts off. They're currently sitting in vinegar, waiting to be scrubbed and cleaned tomorrow.



I only have 5mm spacers currently, but am hoping to go for 10mm to 12mm. Lips will be polished like mirrors and centers will remain gold. Lips will probably double in size later. I'm going with hex nuts and black/silver caps, maybe CF.

[Teaguer]

For now, I'm going to have to deal with fitting these Et38 wheels on my E30. Pics will come later. Also, anyone selling centercaps, hex nuts, and waffles? :(

Congrats on the pick up. Hopefully you will only mount them with spacers as et38 will look sunken in.

Sending you a PM on the centercaps.
