you can get cheaper ones which you bolt on to your hub changed the 4 stud to 1 big stud a lot cheaper than changing hubs etc

also didnt tsw make a wheel years ago which was centrelock ?

we have Andy Brass' wheel already prototyped and other enquiries for the same E50 BBS rims ,yes .

Ryan

did wonder how long it would be before someone cottoned onto the idea there was a market for them.

just dont think people realise the extra costs involved ontop of the wheels and hubs.

I think these below are cnc copies rather than the BBS cast versions



Ryan, Spence said he was going to make some, do you know if he ever did.

Ryan

i havent spoken to him in ages, he did mention it, as he took the drawings off mine.

As Paul knows i enquired 2 weeks ago with BBS and i this is the inof i received

http://www.bbs-racing-wheels.com/seiten/framee.htm

This a breakdown of what they would have cost at the time with the exchange rate that at the time was better than it is now (about £20)

The information received

Wheels = 2850.00 Euro (£2568.28) today's currency @ 1.11
VAT = £449.45
Centre = £750.00
Socket = £150.00

£3917.73 + post and tyres

thats about right (above ) .

hi Ryan , hope your well long time .

theres no market as such for these things ,the lad whose doing these is purely making them for cars that are being used that have 25 year old rims with cracks in them ,peoples pride and joy hurtling around at modern speeds with old corrded rims is a recipe for disaster and this is a good solution .

If someone did start making good reps of the above i for shore would snap a set up if they were priced right

jacko

i bet loads would want them

Mr RS500

I would get very excited for a set

Ill expect a call Tony if and when there ready

I doubt even copies will be cheap given the amount of work to cnc just the centre from a billet. The more made the cheaper they get I imagine, sounds like there enough of you gents to get a group buy going.

Funnily enough theres some spare bits for sale here

Understandably Paul, if i could get a set made and get the adapters for around £2500-£3000 then i would deffo be interested - i just can't justify £4500 for a set
