BBS RS Parts

[rayray086]

Hello everyone,

Just wanting to know, where can I find various assortment of BBS RS wheel parts? Things like centre caps, centre badges, nuts and bolts, lips, etc. Shops/Online shops don't have to be restricted to VW-placements.

eBay seems quite limited, or maybe I'm searching for the wrong keywords?

Any help will be great!

Cheers,
Raymond.

You've listed all the parts in a wheel but which part are you after. As you know these are discontinued but I have bought parts in from Germany and would be happy to sell wide lips etc. What wheels do you have?

I got the ones from "intensem" on the forum - as for the type, I'm not too sure; where can I check on the wheel for it's model number? I've heard of RS001, RS003 etc etc, but dunno where to locate them on the wheel itself.

I'm just particularly after 1x centre screw cap, and 4x centre badge (the current ones have Toyota inscribed on them under the BBS logo).

Found a few sites:

Lips I'm not planning to get; just noted them down.

I now have a 15" set of BBS (stock 4x100) with centre caps. Look exactly like RS but without lip bolts. I'm having the centre bore enlarged to 57.1 before sale.

I also have a 16" set of RS. Fronts are 7.5 and rears are 8. I haven't had them drilled as they are currently 5x114. Perfect for a VR6.

Anyone interested on here can have first refusal. IM me ta

Hi mate, i've used this guy on eBay UK for badges etc, he has loads of different colours etc, and posts stuff out really quick........

If you unscrew your centre caps the number of the wheel will be stamped in there, you'll have RS ----- whatever they are. You'll find offset and width sizes aswell.
If they're RS001's they're 15'' and you'll want 70mm badges, if they're something else you should check with him that they'll fit (theres different sizes of badge and centre nut)

RS174 are what I have. Any sites where I can find listings of all the BBS RS released and their differences etc? Can't seem to find anything!

I'd be happy to give you some pointers if I knew. These are the RS I've currently got for sale. They are 5 x 114 and although they are flatback the pcd is tight as it is...

They look awesome :) Always loved the RS look.

What's the centrebore size for your 16" ones? Also, if those were to be redrilled and fitted on a VR6, would you need to roll the guards to get some clearance if the car was lowered? It just seems it'll poke out quite a bit if fitted on a Golf!

Oh and one other question. With your experience in redrilled rims, would it be possible to have wheels with a 70mm centrebore redrilled to 4/5x100 ? Just that in the 114.3 configuration, there seems to be very little space left to redrill to a smaller stud pattern. I'll be going to a wheels shop to ask, but just want to know your opinions on it!
