WTB: BBS Motorsport E50/52 Lug Nuts

[cooledrm911sc]

Looking to buy the shank style lug nuts for some E50/52 BBS Motorsport faces.

I have some aftermarket ones that work but looking for original.

Thanks

Any photos of the ones you need? I may be able to help you

Did you check with BBS in Brasleton GA? I bought some from them years back, but I had to drill and re tap for the proper lug size. I don’t know if Erick Niconovich is still there, but that’s who I used to deal with. I’ve seen the E50 and E52 centers ruined by using after market substitutes. There are also special washers that go with these.

I'd like to see a pic of the nuts or your wheels, too. I've got some E50s to build, they have the ball seat for 911 lug nuts.

I actually contacted Eric from BBS and he was able to supply them to me. Thankfully they had them in stock, though i just need to have them rethreaded to the M14x1.5 thread pitch.

They work the same way. They actually just got delivered today.

If they have the ballseat, you should be good to know with the traditional lug nuts.

The original OG ones are shank style with thick washers.

interesting and good to know that bit of trivia, thanks.

The older E50 centers ball seats for the lug nuts are cast in. The later E50s have pressed in lug inserts, and are replaceable.
