New euro BBS alloys from Germany

[5AMBO]

I am in contact with someone in Germany at the moment, having a set of bbs alloys customised to my exact specification in terms of looks but I am unsure if they will fit or not.
For those who know a bit about wheels.....here is the email i received below with details:

1 SET OF BBS RS rims , front 7.5x15 ET 25, rear 8.0x15 ET 19, with adaptors from 4x100 to 4x108mm(discs 20mm), centres and inside dishes new powder coated, centres powder coated

In dark grey<(here I do need a colour code), new golden bolts, outside dishes in stainless steel(??)mirror polished, price for such a set: 1.620.00 euros PLUS 50.00 euros for insured

Postage to UK-price is high, but then you shall have a really great rim on your car and the condition of them will be better than ever built new.

im no expert, but the stud pattern is correct so if there is the adequate adapters, i see no problems with them

someone correct me if im wrong though.

pcd 4x108 might need 5mm spacers on front iirc.

anyone else?????

i seriously wouldnt trust sending my money to germany again, plus they are to wide, ull need the hub adaptors like i have, 7.5 front and 8 rear is max really.

also i would expect the outter lips to be ally, unless you want to be cleaning and polishing the wheels to keep them tidy then you need stainless lips from justmatz, there more expencive but im told everyone makes the first mistake with ally and eventrally upgrades to stainless.

if you can find some, just by the middle then the lips and bolts seperatly. i found my cheap german bolts flaked off and rusted. so gotta by new.

There is someone selling some bbs rims on 106 oc.

Ford fitment, but all you would need is some 20mm spacers to fit saxo/pug as the stud patern etc is the same.

[5AMBO]

im confused...........can you fit ford fitment wheels then??
if i have a set of oz super t alloys which are 4x100 pcd (ford fitment i think) and et 40. can i get hubcentric spacers that will adapt from one to the other??

[ChrisT]

Ford fitment is 4x108, same as citreon,peugeot

4X100 is VW

I wouldnt buy them BBS from Germany. Someone on vw golf mk1 owners paid for like £600+ for some and has never receieved anything

If you want euro wheels, get yaself signed upto www.edition38.com and buy some off there. Tonnes of wheels been advertised daily. Must be the busiest car forum(vw) on the net

well i have a set of oz super t alloys at the moment that the garage local to me would not fit as they said the bolts don quite line up. they are four stud but they said the bolts fit in but go slightly inwards or outwards into the car so they would eventually shear and break. is there anyway i can get around this to fit them then??

Is the centrebore of the wheel the correct size for your car?

ew dont do that, you can get bbs rm's in 108pcd from a old audi i think, there very rare and normaly you end up paying more for them than you would using hub adaptors, plus you gotta use spacers so i dont think theres any chance of goin any wider.

a guy on 106 owners called rayray has a set.
