DIY BBS RM012 bring them back from the dead.

These wheels are atleast 16 years old so I sent out the cores to the wheel refinishers to have straightened and painted.

 

Now to piece them up

no i don't and i have to drill a RS001 to be 5X100.

countersink

 

My RS001 are finally assembled and test fitting it on the rado for any clearance issues.

 

 

 

not going to rub the fenders

 

 

 

This is not for the faint at heart :notworthy:

LOL indeed

 

Shouldnt you weld the original holes though before redrilling them :scratch:

I think seeing as you have so many wheels you should donate a set to me! Not like you would miss them :D

Likey. :D

 

 

 

 

 

No likey! That just looks wrong, plus won't it make the wheel unbalanced?

[bcstudent 0]

Nice wheels but, yeah, that redrilling job is rough.

[jamin 0]

What are the wheel sizes? I trust you will be selling some of these at some point? Offsets look perfect!!!

 

Wouldn't it be better to redrill your hubs (Zak has done his) rather than (IMO ruin) the wheels?

[BigTartanJudge 0]

Nice wheels, but I am sorry, there is NO WAY i would be running those wheels on my rado after just redrilling holes like that. The new bolt holes you have created will be much weaker than the originl as they are not complete holes. It would have far better and safer to, as mentioned previously, weld up the existing holes, then redrill new ones.

For all you skeptical people out there.

VW wheels are hubcentric meaning that the wheel uses the hub to take the load and not bolt centric wheels which relies on the bolts to take the load.

The centerbore on the bbs wheels is for VW so the hub to wheel face is perfect. Also everyone should know that BBS RS centers are forged aluminum and not like the weaker cast stuff. FYI there is another wheel company SSR that makes wheels with the identical universal bolt pattern for 4X100 and 5X100.

So these are structurally safe.
