Thanks for any info. Nice rims... not sure how you can avoid the centres not being nicked.. I tried to undoo one on the wkend without using the BBS hex key you get & wasnt to easy! I dont no much abt the RS's but have spilt a 3peice set.. takes some time, undoo all the bolts depending on many bolt the rims are, then its a matter of using a solvent like brake cleaner or simliar to break the rubber seal & with a shape knife scrape away the sealent, its not a quick job, trying to seperate the rims aint easy, as for tyres, I surgest you have them removed by a garage, as we tried to cut them of, not easy :lol: I would take the tyres of 1st then spilt the rubber sealent of & then remove the outer dish afterwards... Ive been helping a mate spilt some so will be putting them back together soon.. all good fun! billinjah & OSV have both spilt BBS's before so they may no better way round it... goodluck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
