Surely not!!!! how to plug and re-drill BBS's

[Rav335uk]

I don't think thats the right way of doing things??

[George]

Linky?

[Cook318IS]

Dezzy is thinking about this isn't he?

[Alex]

i think dez is doing a 5 stud conversion paul

[Rav335uk]

Linky?

No point, it's from Wheelwhores as just a pic and not much of a writeup.

[Speedtouch]

One could see the sense in this, perhaps, if they were 16", but for 15" BBS, why not just get the normal 4-stud ones?

[ImysE30]

Doesn't look safe...

Think they are RS's

[Rav335uk]

Doesn't look safe...

Think they are RS's

Yes RS 224's

[leeparkes]

Doesn't look safe...

Think they are RS's

Yes RS 224's

What do these RS 244's look like? just done a quick search but cant find anything apart from this list

Oh and i cant realy see the problem doing this if done 'correctly', cant be any worse than a multistud bk rep,
BBS's are made from good quality alloy



I wouldnt do it though

[Rav335uk]

I wouldn't fuk up a BBS wheel for that, i'd go out and buy the bloody right one, oh I did .

BBS RS 224 looks like any other BBS RS wheel Lee.
All it tells you by that number is basically the offset, wheel bolt size and centrebore size.

Complicated or what

Rav, the wheel you posted in the OP has the same fitment as the one's from RB (orginal holes)

Are you getting those then??

I really want to but i need to spend my money elsewhere first, like suspension

Thanks for the link

[Rav335uk]

Sent you another.

I know, can't help it!!!
Any PM back at you!

[HairyScreech]

technicaly yes, that is the right way of doing it. its far more common on older or yank stuff than over here on our new fangled bmws.

[DanThe]

Id rather drive on steelies, bodge artists....

[Speedtouch]

Bodge or not, it's certainly ingenious. I'd be interested to know more about the process of plugging alloys, out of interest. Anyone have any links?

[timsands]

write up in ppc recently. its a legit process

[psychochild187]

they dont look central though
im looking at the distance from centre bore lip to hole edge
some look further away

[E30SPDFRK]

That is actually one of the most correct way's to do it. The plug's don't heat up and warp the metal like welding would. Also they filled in all the holes, even the ones that don't interfere with the new holes, so that the wheel will balence out better.
