Replacement BBS Rim Half??
I just bought a set of old style BBS 16" rims for my 86 Carrera (7's & 9's). They are the old style, gold anodized spoke center with lug nut covers that were popular 20 years ago. They are no longer made in this style but they are true 3 piece wheels. My problem is that one 9" rim has the inner rim lip chewed up from something lodging between the rim and rear suspension while the car was running. Reamed about 1/8" off the it. Looks lousy but can't be seen with the wheel installed. Anyone know where I can obtain a replacement inner rim half in the correct offset?? If the currently available 3 piece BBS wheels have the same rim dimensions, can one of these be used. If so where to get one?

Depends on what model wheel you have, some 16's are non-rebuildable.

Thanks, Greg.
This looks like the place to find a replacement inner rim if this wheel is rebuildable. It should be you would think. It has the 20 bolt pattern I believe. I assume there's some sort of seals that need replacement as well when the rim is broken down into its components. Mike |
