BBS Centrelocking 18" wheels full kit (provisionally sold)
 
Well ive decided to sell my wheels as I need to spend money getting the car running properly and cannot justify the cost for them on the car. These are the real deal as run on RS500 touring cars in the 80's but 18" instead of 17".

These are very rare in 18" only 2 sets I know of the other being owned by Ryan on this board. Think the GGR car also runs the 18" verson but thats about it.

Included are four complete wheels with nearly new tyres (Pradas) a set of alloy hub adaptors and the bar/ socket needed to fit and tighten them. The wheels were all refurbished when i bought them and are all still in great shape no cracks curbing or dents.

I also have quite a few spares for them should one get damaged, i have 6 spare outer sectons, 1 spare centre section and three spare inner sections. The spare inner wheels sections do have some cracks but one can be easyly repaired so a spare wheel can be made with the parts i have.

Now these are not cheap wheels and as the hub adaptors alone are the cost of a set of complete wheels normally and the equipment to tighten them is over £500 alone!!

I am after 3k for the complete package but that does buy you one of if not the best wheels you can put on a 3 door :ban-split:

I should add ive had no problems running these on a road car, ive never had a nut come lose on me. You will need to trim the front arches to get these under as they will catch the kit.

BEN FRST 13-05-2008 09:47 AM

would you take a lower offer not quite got that much money

lamb chops 13-05-2008 10:19 AM

Im open to an offer.. What were you thinking?

RONNIE AMIS 13-05-2008 10:25 AM

how about a straight swap and my love for ever :cry::cry:

lamb chops 13-05-2008 10:35 AM

hehe tempting offer Ron... but im going to have to decline

MONSTER 13-05-2008 11:41 AM

Hi, is that price for all wheels, torque wrench & spares? Also what offset are they?

Thanks

lamb chops 13-05-2008 12:18 PM

yep the whole kit David plus all the spares. im not sure on offset.. at a guess i would say around 28-30

MONSTER 13-05-2008 02:07 PM

Thanks for the reply mate, i'll do a bit of photoshoppery & i'll be in touch.

Fastmaul 13-05-2008 02:19 PM

OMG I love those wheels!! Fookin 6 grand my price though LOL.
Chops, what's the biggest size brakes you can fit under them?

Kev.H 13-05-2008 03:18 PM

Dave Buy Them !

lamb chops 13-05-2008 04:13 PM

No worries Dave let me know, FastMaul I would think very big 380mm no problem but im not 100% sure

Luca 13-05-2008 04:15 PM

John what you replacing these with then

lamb chops 13-05-2008 04:26 PM

dont know yet Luke, car needs some monet spending on it to sort out the running issues and im feeling the money pinch at the moment. The wheels were only ever bought as a short term extravagance really and its time to sell them and get some cash back.

I would like some really wide CNX's with black centres but thats not going to free up a great deal of cash :cry: could be speaking to alps about his RL7's perhaps.. But shes going to be plain jane again :(

RONNIE AMIS 13-05-2008 04:29 PM

dam it :cry: lol good luck with the sale mate, sure they'll be snapped up

lamb chops 13-05-2008 04:33 PM

Cheers Ron :DD:

15D 13-05-2008 11:10 PM

Worth buying a nice 3dr just to fit these wheels on!

Alps Pacino 13-05-2008 11:27 PM

Truely awsome wheels mate good luck with the sale

lamb chops 14-05-2008 09:56 AM

Luca 14-05-2008 10:11 AM

Happy days and a lucky provisional buyer

Turbocabbie 14-05-2008 11:06 AM

my god, forget about running the car... just stand there and drool over the wheels.

one of my fav three doors ever

Dan 14-05-2008 11:16 AM

John :(

lamb chops 14-05-2008 11:54 AM

yeah i know Dan... needs must though :sad:

Dan 14-05-2008 11:56 AM

I thought the exact same thing mate :( Only prob being you won't find them again :(

You can have first dibs on my Comps if I ever sell them if you like as I know you had some before?

Thought about Ripley wheels mate? :DD:

lamb chops 14-05-2008 12:00 PM

The deal i have done on them will get me some Hocks as part ex so i have wheels to run for the time being. depending on how much the car costs to sort I would like to go the CNX route but as wide a fook on the rear.. not 100% sure though.. Also tempted with Alps RL7's..

LINCOLN 16-05-2008 09:48 AM

Who bought them?

Need pics - wish mine were 18"'s.


Dont worry John here are some photos to make you feel better.........

LINCOLN 16-05-2008 09:56 AM

:poke:

hehe

lamb chops 16-05-2008 11:20 AM

hehe, im going off the CNX idea now.. Think its going to be Alps RL7's for the time being if he replies to my PM.

Dont want to say who bought them will leave that up to them :)

heres another pic to make me cry
