    [WTS]Finally a solution to those missing BBS hubcaps!

    If you've ever experienced the pain of:

    a. Losing your BBS RZ hubcap
    b. Scouring the Bay or R3v for a overpriced used hubcap
    c. Losing said hubcap again due to broken tabs on used hubcap
    d. Finally biting the bullet and buying a grossly overpriced new hubcap

    I might have the solution for you!

    The Problem
    The E30 BBS RZ hubcap's puny tabs are prone to breaking over time due to what I believe is a flawed design.

    This adapter allows you to use the IMHO far superior designed BBS RZ hubcap with a different locking mechanism commonly used for the Mazda. I have never seen one of these break.

    Machined from T6061 Alumnium, this adapter can be snugly press fit into the BBS RZ hub center with a few whacks with a piece of wood and mallet.

    The hollow center of the adapter also allows for wheel balancing without removing the adapter.

    Nice! I've had a few fall off over the years and its always a pain to find them.

    Free bump for a cool product and a decent price, you should post a picture of them mounted on the wheels

            Thanks for the suggestion. Added it to the first post! I'll probably add a video to show the fitment which shows no signs wobbling or ever falling off!

                These were designed based on the 14 and 15" (2WD) hub. AFAIK the only difference between the regular 2WD and IX weaves is the offset. Therefore if your hub cap locking mechanism is the same as a regular weave, then this adapter will fit.

                Paypal address is alvin_goh@hotmail.com. Also updated it in the first post. Thanks!

                    Do you have a pic of your rims especially around the hub area?
