Im trying to sort out a set of new wheels for my GTR, but still cant find anything great that fits mint. So im thinking of making my BBS wheels either all 17x9 or all 17x10 (currently 17x8/9 with 36/39 offsets). Wheels are 2 piece, and if i can, would like to make them 17x9 or 10 with an offset around +15, or even +30.

Anyone had any experiences? Cheers

I know Bateman Race Cars can do lips, not sure about a 17 inch though, otherwise Arrow Wheels might be able to sort you out?

the bimmersport guys had a group buy, and the price was $362 a lip, they were coming from germany I believe

Interesting read! Only difference is mine are 2 piece not 3 piece, would that affect things?

by **soopachargen** » Thu Feb 24, 2011 4:13 pm

are you sure they are two piece and not welded three piece?

Im not 100% sure, i was just told that when my tyres got changed (i think nick did them?)

Its very similar to this wheel, except mine has less spokes and less bolts.

Alot of BBS wheels seem to be made this way.

OMG so shiny! · by **Dell'Orto** » Thu Feb 24, 2011 9:14 pm

Just get some sweet Advantis bei :lol:

by **soopachargen** » Thu Feb 24, 2011 9:16 pm

if you can get a pic of the rim from the outside with no tyre on it, that would be the easiest way to tell.

Here are some that 41 degree wheels (Gavin Bateman) built from scratch for me

They are a good wheel and you get the size and offset that you want

I would be tempted to send Gavin 1 of your rims and let him decide if he can make new outers

by **soopachargen** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 10:39 am

what does he charge for complete custom wheels?

by **slammed_integral** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 3:33 pm

dam it seems like he only goes up to 17" i was thinking about getting my 18x9s made into 18x10s for the RX
