    Frank, Im pretty sure you know this info, but in case you dont, 16" rs have a 12.25" face, and 17" rs have a 13" face.

    Yeap, just measured a set of 16" BBS RS 34 holes centers, they come in a bit over 13", I'm still a little short then., thanks.

            I once saw a set of black style %s (deep dish) with a red center/studs.

            I think it was on an e36

            anyone have any pics of this?

                      Quick question, I have a set of BBS RS 001 and was wondering if the factory lug nuts work with them?

                      I cant remember if they are 60 degree taper or rounded seat. Some pics below. Thanks, J

                        Model: BBS RM
                        Height/Width/Offset: 15x9 et1 and 15x9.5 et-6
                        Purchased from: craigslist (bone stock specs)
                        Plans: ordered a pair of 4.5" lips for the rear, repaint
                        Refurbishment/Polishing Methods: all new urrthang
                        Price: everything? too much


                        so i picked these up last fall for my miata. got them and immediately started rebuilding them. i ordered a set of 3" lips and 3.5" lips from tunershop. and i got all new chrome hardware from Persch & Partner. i painted them green and first had them with nexxen 195/45/15 tires. but then decided to swap them for 205/50/15 falken rt-615k

                        the problem i had was that whoever had the set before me refinished them in gold. and when they re-bolted it back up, they WAY overtorqued the bolts. out of the 120 bolts i had to undo, i think it was about 60 had stripped, and about 10 snapped. so i had to drill out and re-tap a bunch of the holes. sighhh...









                        future plans: i have ordered a pair of 4.5" lips from persch & partner. should be here beginning of september. so that will give me final specs of 15x9.5 et-6 front and 15x10.5 et-19 rear. then i think im going to order a set of the metal polished half-caps from black forest industries, as i hate the plastic centrecaps that the RM's come with.

                        then i have to decide what colour to paint them. im thinking crayon orange. it will work well with dark green on my touring, as well as the robins egg blue on my miata (gulf racing anyone?)

                          Picking up some used wheels this week, trying to identify what specs/width they are to figure what tires i need. They are BBS RS189 rims.

                          This is whats stamped on them, cant seem to find anything else:

                          ET38
                          RS189
                          47.88
                          235774

                          Any idea what those #'s mean? I know ET is offset right? and RS189 is the model. They are 15"s so im mostly just trying to figure what width is, without measuring...yet. Any help is appreciated!

                            regular width on 189 are 6" with 1" lip. these are re-done as you can see and definitely wider. you'd need to measure em' to make sure. it's VW centerbore.
