After trying to have wheels built for over a year and half my custom built 3 piece 15” wheels finally arrived today from BBS. Look great except don't look like they are going to fit at first glance. Bring them through customs, pay a truck load of duty and get them home. Jack up the car pull my 16” rain wheels, try them on, no fit, no worky, not funny!

My drawing clearly shows I need 360.6mm of inside wheel clerance at the hub flange! How could BBS Motorsports get it so wrong, they only measure 335mm. Unless they can fix the situation quickly I may not see any racing this year! Waaaaa, I'm going to go turn out the lights a sit in my room!

 

That's terrible Marc.

I'm sure that they cost quite a bit so hopefully, you'll get that fixed right away (as in BBS will fix it).

 

You might want to edit your phone number and address out of that pic.

Anyway, hopefully BBS will correct the error for you as soon as possible. Good luck, keep us posted on what happens.

 

hope the best works out for you

 

nice rim marc... how much do those sucka's weigh??

 

I contacted Bill B. at BBS today and discussed the problem, he says it can be solved, it was their mistake. What they have in mind I believe involves reducing the width of the drop centre on the inner half. On the wheels they sent the drop centre is 60mm in width and if they reduce the width by 15mm this will straighten out the problem.

Hello EvlErn69,

They are Magnesium center, very strong and weigh in around 12lbs each. I will get a picture up tomorrow.
