Hi Peoples.

Was going to put these on my car, but circumstances have changed and I need the extra cash.

What we have here is a full set of 4, lightweight, magnesium centered, 3 piece center lock racing rims.

These have the rare deep centered face and can clear massive brakes.

post-94131-0-96186200-1382568312_thumb.jpg

They are a staggered set.

Sizes are:

Front: 18" x 10" -2.5mm offset (8" inner barrel and 2" lip)

Rear: 18" x 12" +1.5mm offset (9" inner barrel and 3" lip)

They were originally off a Porsche 996 RSR cup car, so have a 130pcd for the drive pins.

They are used, so if you want them shiny, the lips will need to be polished and the centers repainted, but they are racing rims.

They have a silver face, but i was going to have them redone in BBS Gold. My personal favourite.

Even when they are dirty, they still looking farking awesome!!

They are all straight, without cracks and roll true.

Asking $3500 plus delivery, or pick up from Wollongong NSW.

These things are unreal, and would cost you almost $10,000 to buy brand new.

So pick up an awesome set of rims for a fraction of the price, and best of all, being 3 piece you can change the barrels and lips to suit your needs.

If you want close up pics of the rims, PM me your number and i can send them to your phone.

Nothing says racecar like a genuine set of centerlock BBS racing wheels. And why centerlock???? Because RACECAR!!

The offsets are off.

If they were close to whats stated, I would have looked into them more :)

What do you mean by "they are off"?

With a 9" rear lip and 3" front lip, +1.5 offset doesn't sound right.

Also with a 8" rear lip and a 2" front lip, couldn't possibly be negative offset. Unless the bolt point goes that far back.

have worked with porsche cup wheels.

I believe the front do have around 2inchs of meat(maybe more) where the splines hook I to, so the offsets wouldnt surprise me.

I get where you are coming from. Its kinda hard to picture it but the center drop on these to the mounting face is enormous!!

On just the center piece alone there is a total hieght of around 103mm which is around 4". Then the lip mounting face receeds back by about 1". Then you have 3" worth of outer lip on the rear, so that is very close to 6" from mounting face to outer lip. And being the rears are 12" wide, that leaves very close to 6" from the mounting face to the inner lip.

Same with the fronts, except they are 10" wide, and the inner and outer halves are 1" smaller in width (2" total) which gives you the same senario.

Here are the measurements i took from the mounting face to the very outer edges of both halves of both front and rear rims.

Front:

from mounting face to inner lip 136mm

from mounting face to outer lip 141mm

= -2.5mm offset

Rear:

from mounting face to inner lip 165mm

from mounting face to outer lip 162mm

= +1.5mm offset

There is around 64mm of caliper clearance from the mounting face to the rear face of the spokes at the far most point, to clear the massive calipers they use.

These really are an amazing rim. I dont really want to let them go, but like i said, I could use the extra cash right now.

If anyone is interested in these, I have a mate who can do a custom bolt on center lock conversion to suit these wheels and make it any pcd you want to suit any stud pattern.

He already has the design made up and ready to go.

    • Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.
    • I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.
    • Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.
    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU?
