WTB One BBS RS 16x7 ET11

[adawil2002]

Found a slow leak in one of my tires, turns out the wheel is cracked at the rear barrel and cannot be repaired. Looking for a replacement wheel, I know it's a long shot. Pictures are for reference.

maybe post on one of the later bmw forums where they are more common?

Hey Andrew, sorry that sucks. Would it be easier to find a replacement barrel?

Wonder if these will work. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BBS-RS-16x6...ash=item1c5b79d887:g:YzEAAOSw~bFWJ8R4&vxp=mtr

They might...
but you should clarify with the seller how they measured the 6" (overall width or to inner edge of lip). It is possible that your 7" wheels use 5-5.5" inner barrels. On the other hand, this may be your chance to make 8" et24 wheels for a staggered set...

Yeah wheel width is measured at the ledge that the tire sits on. Andrew would likely end up with 16x8. Buy two and use them for the rears! You have 34 hole wheels bye. It makes little sense to buy a whole wheel. That is, unless you want to make a very cool factory spare down the road...

I have some 16" BBS RS barrels laying here. Remove the waffle lug cover and tell me what RS### model the wheel is. I assume theyre BBS RS005, and if so the barrel should be 5" and if so I have 3 16x5" barrels.

Correct for staggered.

RS005 would be 1.5 outers, 1/2 for centers and 5" for barrels to total 7" fronts ET 11. Rears are RS006 with 1.5 fronts, 1/2 centers and 6" for barrels to total 8" rears, ET 24 ish.

I'll have the wheel shop or VSR get the number and send you a PM when when I know.

Sounds good.

Sent Mario an e-mail, he'll get the number Monday AM.
