WTB Centerlock RSR Style rims (real or good repo)

johnbri · johnbri's Garage

OK,

I know I'm asking for "unobtainium" here, but I'd seriously like to get a set of RSR (70's) centerlock wheels. I'd prefer a good set of repos, but...a real set would also work.

Thanks,

John

How about the BBS three piece Motorsport variety that everybody went to also?

I have four of these left from a IMSA car.

Yes,

This style center which is stronger than the original mess type.

Bob,

These are nice. Do you know the sizes/offsets? How straight are they?

I have some BBS 20 hole wheel halves from a 935, they make 11x16 fronts.
PM if interested.
Also have some 3.0 RSR/935 Ti rods and rod bearings if you need them.

You need to call Keith (eimkeith) at Zuffenhaus in Charlotte, NC. They currently are reproducing many RSR parts including calipers/centerlock hubs and wheels etc. Here is a link to the website: http://www.zuffenhaus.us

I believe there is a thread on this website that discusses their products.

A buddy of mine has a set of centerlock RSR Mahle five spoke 10x15 and 12x15 ask me how I
know ? they're in my garage....last asking was 10k

Thanks for the product bump there, Ktr6!

Our Centerlock hubs/Wheels have taken FOREVER to get to market. We are going to have the hubs/hats available late this summer (or I'll pull my own hair our) and I believe we owe Bob Barnes some parts from over a year ago out of that stuff!

The wheels will take longer, as our 17" Fuchs are taking precedent right now - getting the supply side methods working better...

The 15" Centerlocks and RSR brakes are our boutique items - very important to us, so they will happen - guaranteed.

John,

The four Porsche Centerlocks I have are 12inches wide. I have inners/outers to make up a set of 10inx16 or 10x17; 12x16 and 12x17. These would be offsets that would fit a RSR bodied car with Centerlocks. All my pieces are fairly new.

Kent,

Do you have a couple of 5x16in inners available? I need one for this week-end.

Keith,

Thanks for remembering my requests for some parts. I am so far behind with some others projects, I can wait for those pieces.

Thanks,

Bob
