Three piece wheels - help wanted - suggestions, suppliers or wheels - Group 4 project

[Tim Parker]

Hi. So I'm at the point where I've got my fenders on and can measure up. But now I've hit the wheel issue. I thought I was going to be able to use my BBS RS faces and add new lips and barrels but now I think I hit a wall. Waiting to hear back from VR Wheels who are talking about using barrel as lips and vice versa.
I need to create 11 x 17 inch wide rears with zero offset (5.5 lip and 5.5 barrel) and 9 x 17 fronts with negative 1" offset. (5.5 lip and 3.5 barrel).
Anyone with wheels / advice / vendors greatly appreciated.

Check with Black Forrest Industries. They have all kinds of BBS parts and might do custom lips and barrels.

Way overpriced parts there and DO NOT buy their chrome hardware. Absolute garbage plating that will immediately rust within days.

Tim,

I have a set of 9" X 16" Weds that are in excellent condition - just too wide to use on my stock e9. IF you have any interest, I can get you pix and dimensions, etc.

I agree with Ian, srrhardware is the way to go. Reasonably priced and good quality. I ordered a set if 17" BBS RS lips and they came home perfect and ready to install out of the box.

Thank you - but I have to go 17s. to get the 315 tire on the rears. Much appreciated though.

cannot use Avon tyres to get the width with 16’s like original racers?
