Pimp my wagon

BBS wheels on the wagon.

I don't hate it. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170521/e730ef17273a9c547e20fc908c040e55.jpg

Those were always my least favorite BBS wheels tbh

I don't know what the stock wheels looked like, but I'm sure this is better.

They were tolerable, but 16" and narrow (205 tires). The e46 wheels fit so I put these on with 225 Continental DW's just for kicks. It's quite a bit better.

I mean the suspension is too soft and the brakes suck. But at least the tires work. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170521/b38370fc8a5a77f5cc98247aeaa0528b.jpg

That's kinda funny because those are one of my favorites ...


Looking good Matt :thumbup:

[rumatt]

Yeah, I always liked them too.

That's because they're awesome.

[equ]

Me three, I like them. Also light. I assume that's the 3-season set.

[rumatt]

It's the BBS RK's. Light and cheap. I bought it from a Bimmerfest member like 12 years ago. Elwood I think?

[rumatt]

Speaking of BBS RK's, I finally found the slow leak in my right rear "tire"

Well, damn.

[rumatt]

Now unless I find one used BBS RK... They're all toast.

[Nick M3]

Awkward.

[nate]

That's no bueno

[kognito]

Is the crack too structural, or is there any kind of fix available?

Dude, Elwood sold you a bum wheel? You're lucky that thing didn't fail when you were racing your shit!

[rumatt]

Refund!!!!!

Wheel Collision (http://www.wheelcollision.com/index.html) - see if they'll fix / warranty it, or if they have a used one for exchange or sale.

It was worth a shot, but no dice.

That wheel is not reparable. Once a wheel is cracked at a spoke it is no good. The structural integrity of the wheel has been compromised.

If you keep looking, you'll eventually find someone doing a part out or something. But that's no help to you in the meantime.

[Plaz]

doh

[Terri Kennedy]

see if ... they have a used one for ... sale.

[rumatt]

They do not sell used wheels

[equ]

Is the rumatt long term plan to continue to keep 3 cars?

[bren]

I think he should sell the Cayman to Clyde.

[Josh (PA)]

Ebay had a bunch of cheap Saab offset ones. Not sure if they fit, but they were $100 or so each.

[rumatt]

That was the plan, yeah. Although I have only a 2 car garage so when I get the e46 back I'll have to see how annoyed I am having one outside all the time.

I kind of want a truck too though, so.. :lol:

Yeah, unfortunately they're the wrong bolt pattern, offset, and width.

[Josh (PA)]

meh, minor details :? :dunno:

How funny you mention that. I know one who has one for sale. And so do you! And we both know it's been meticulously maintained!

Down here in SC, this wouldn't stop most

Do tell. I am in the market for a good, used truck

They told you that? Their website page title is "Wheel Collision Center Bath PA- Excellence in Refinished/Used Factory OEM Aluminum Alloy Wheel Rim Sales <blah blah blah>" and their large list (http://www.wheelcollision.com/store/) of wheels for sale says Most WHEELS are sold refinished in "as new" MINT condition, and most carry a Limited Lifetime Warranty against material defect. Listed Prices are "PER WHEEL". Wheel center caps are typically priced separately, so do let us know if you may need them and we can confirm price and availability.

[rumatt]

Ah, he said "Sorry, but we do not stock any aftermarket wheels."

So maybe they stock and sell OEM ones.
