Mr_Rossy 0 Posted July 29, 2014 Hi there, I'm renovating my bbs wheels and wanted to buy, borrow or rent someone's bbs sockets to remove the nuts to allow me to split and paint the centres. Message me with what you have. Thanks matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leon263 0 Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Standard BBS bolts have 12 points which means that a standard 12 point socket will fit....... 8mm on the front, 10mm on the nuts at the back ........ that's certainly what I used on my LMs Edited July 29, 2014 by leon263 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Rossy 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Cheers guys, it's bonkers how overpriced people make things when the word BBS is used! I just found standard 1/2" 12point 8 & 10mm sockets in http://www.toolstoday.co.uk for £2.58 each! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
