4-lug BBS wheels?

[bigboremike]

Hey everyone~
i was just wondering if anyone had ever come across a set of 4-lug BBS wheels(if they even exist)? i thought i heard something about them being popular for 924's, what are the dimensions? where can i get a set for my 914?

This is just a thought, but I believe the BBS wheels that were an option on the '90's VW Jetta GLI 16V might fit the 914, but I can't confirm it.

A friend who once owned both (Jetta gone, 914 still there) had them side-by-side and we remarked that there was a chance they both had the same bolt pattern, but (unfortunately) we never investigated the possibility.

I think the VW pattern is more like 4 on 100 or 110. Ours are 4 on 130.


The Enkie wheel looks like a BBS mesh and will fit our cars. Look in the Pelican 'Whats New!' section for the 914 wheel chart.

Conrad is right about the 130mm. Seems not many cars used it. For a good list of most all patterns, Check out : http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/1172/whl_faq.htm

I have a set that are the same baskeweave center as the HRE or Kinesis wheel if youre interested. I am removing then from my car (doing the 5 bolt thing). Your car has to be flared tho'. You can see them on the 3rd page of photos on roadglue.com.

The watercooled VW bolt patern is for sure 4x100. Offsets are a ways apart as well.

Looks like RoadGlue.com is D.O.A.

Amazing, I create a hyperlink here (without the forward slash in front of the "m") and suddenly it works! Pelican Parts can fix anything.
