I came across only 3 of these BBS 16 inch by 8" wheels. they are 3 pc construction and feel fairly light. They look like good wheels but I only have 3. I am figuring out if I should sell or keep...what are they worth? Does anyone have a single wheel to complete my quartet? got any groovy trivia I should know about these?




WTF?

I was told some time ago that those BBS 34-bolt RS wheels were made
for street cars, and weren't meant to be taken apart to adjust offset/back
spacing. Mesh design for brake cooling and styled to look like race rims,
but don't take my word for it. I like 20-bolt E50's.

there are 17/16 inch lips available in all sorts of back spacing for the RS
i love the look of a e50, in fact much prefer it but the design of the RS spokes lend themselves to a stronger wheel,
here are some horny looking 15inch e50s fresh from the rebuilders
(not mine)

It is specified. Shows it even at the bottom when you load pics.

I see a lot of those wheels on BMW's around here.

If I remember correctly these sometimes called Mahle BBS RS wheels. Mostly found on German cars ( 5x110? bmw/ 5x112 mercedes, etc.) I believe you can sometimes redrill the boltpattern, but not sure. I think different years have a different design wheel-lip. Some are smooth, some have more of an edge.
Price? Set of 4 in good condition goes for anything between 550 and 1200euro over here.

yeah that may be stated in a seperate post but where you actually add the pic is says "unlimited" why not change that phrase next to the add attachment to say " limit 500k" instead of "unlimited"?

Because that message is for the global size limit, not the per post size limit.

Sean,

I have one (only) of those wheels in 16x7 et23 that I would like to get out of my garage. The outer lip is damaged but likely repairable. RGOFAST on the BirdBoard has some parts available:

Cheers,

Eddie
