18" Bbs E88 Magnesium Centerlock 3 Piece Racing Rims


Recommended Posts

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.

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!!

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.

    • The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.
    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
