Lookin' for wheels

[RLJ]

I would like to find some BBS wheels.

The BBS part numbers are RG008 and RG009.
(I don't think many of these were made so I start here, you guys will find them if anyone can.)

These are a one piece forged Road wheel 16" X 7.5" and 8.5" w/ basket centers.

I think they have the same look as the BBS three piece race wheel where the basket goes out all the way to the rim, as compared to the old RS style that IMHO has the look of a 14" center in a 16" rim.

Paint the centers something fun and high polish the rims.

A question. What is counter pressure cast road wheels. Cast in a vacume?

BBS also offered a RZ wheel that is a counter pressure cast road wheel, there numbers are RZ329 for the 7.5" and RZ330 for the 8.5" wheel.

If anyone has a pic of these wheels the only one I have is a fax from BBS that is "poor" in quality.

Randy, I'm not 100% certain but I think this is the RG one-piece forged wheel. It is the 7.5 x 16" version:

I am pretty sure there was a set of the first one you mention for sale on the used parts board here a few months ago. Do a search and then you would have a pic. Those are probably sold.

What is that car behind you? Looks like an interesting beast?

Wayne,
Looks like a 968.. water pumper.. not bad if its a 968CS but it doesn't look like a color they we offered in.
