Vintage BBS Collection
Well it seems that these BBS wheels keep coming toward me!
After I decide to build me a new VW project I was sure it have to wear smaller wheels than my 1303. So I began looking for a set of 16 BBS RS 5x130. I kept looking at Ebay but they seems to be at $2,000 range. One day I found a set of 16 BBS Mahle that were at good price. I made an offer and was accepted. Here is a front one. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5063/...0fa8f6cb_b.jpg The I began to look for a 944 donor car. A local had one for $500. At arrival it had an unexpected surprise, a set of 16 BBS RS. I got the car for $400. Here a front wheel picture. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2698/...84ca5a1c_b.jpg Then it was all my fault. While surfing Ebay a nice set of interesting wheels pop out, a mint set of 16 BBS E52. These are Rennsport magnesium centers, so a compulsive "Buy Now" get me these!!! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3438/...78a7c9f0_b.jpg All are 16x7 ET23 at front and 16x8 ET11 at back. Anyone having a set of E50, E26 or LM set for my new addiction!!!:D |
oooooooh! BBS RS in 5x130. Nice!!

I love mine! bbs rs 157, and 158 from a porsche 924. ET 49 all the way around. 16x7 in front and 16x8 in back.

@Onix: an impressive collection you have, I like the BBS E52 most. |
Thanks. Always liked the LM BBS wheels but these early ones had grown on me. But by no means I am expert on them so I do not know the differences between E51 and E52?!?!?:confused:

Well I done it again :eek:. I had managed to get another pristine set of BBS RS at a real great price! What sealed the deal was the 36 offset of the front wheels with such great condition.

You my friend, are what we call a "Wheel Whore."

I thought I was bad with 5 sets for the bug, but apparently your love of bbs wheels is insatiable! I've got a set of 15x7 cookie cutters for autox, 16x7/16x8 low offset early phone dials for rain, 18x8/18x10 BSA 215a for street, 17x8.5/17x10 Fikse FM5 for road racing and 18x8.5/18x10 Fikse Profil 5 for road race/hillclimb. How many sets of wheels are you up to now 6? 7? ;)

Hi Pal!!! You got a a very good collection. I really like those Fikse you have. The yellow car on your avatar seems to have some RUF wheels. Am I right? Are yours? Pictures of them? Right now I have 7 sets of BBS and another set of 16" RS centers. Latelly the E26 BBS seems to be calling my name!:D |
