Default 3dr cosworth centre lock wheels

As above can you still buy them as I'd like to put some centre locks on it eventually and the hubs to take these...?

Cheers Mat.

BBS E50 style cant be bought new anymore, and you will need the hub adapters made up...

Oh and a scaffold pole

I did hear someone was making copy's of the centers a while back but don't know what happened with those

Paul@NYS has a set and Richie has adaptors. MK can make the adaptors, I looked into for the saph but did'nt want to start chopping stuff.

Can work out expensive Mat.

Ryan's old 3dr looked awesom on the centre locks.

I looked into it for mine but the cost is very high and need a massive 3/4 drive torque wrench that I wouldn't want to carry around with me in case of a puncture. But agree they look superb on the car just very expensive and being mag wheels need careful looking after.

I'll stick with the Hock's for now then...

Money isn't the problem... The problem is I don't want to cut anything .. I just thought it would be bolt on items

I spoke to bbs about 18 months ago and got prices they were around Ł3k but then you have the centre hubs etc

I'd be more interested if someone could make the centres in 4 stud

I have look into cast new centres but not from mag so looking after them would be easier.
Centre locker and 4 stud but no one was interested .
I can get the pattern done and casting made/ machined
And supply just that so people can shop around for there own rims and keep it cheaper

Sounds like an idea but obviously depends on price of centres. I think the 4 stud would sell easier though

Spoke to BBS last year some time and they said they are not currently making those centres.

Edit: found the email

Hallo Mr Diamand,
thanks for your mail and interest in BBS Racing Wheels.

Usually E50/E48 are available, but we regret, not at the moment.

Price for one set 17" is ca. 2800 EUR;
BBS racing wheels always are single produced to customers order. So we need further informations about the wheel dimensions you need (widths, offsets and caliper space in axial direction).

Regards
