BBS Wheel Trim Replacement
#21
#22
I've got two BBS Paris wheels with slightly bent trim rings - not from curbing, but high speed NYC potholes (what they spend all that toll money on I've no idea, but it definitely isn't road maintenance! But I digress...). Has anyone tried sending their wheels back to BBS for a rebuild? Seems like the logical step.
If there is a mechanic on the eastern seaboard who does wheel rebuilds please pass his name along.

If you don't need paint or powdercoat we turn these around same day. The price from Coventry West is a little high but if you are doing them yourself you'll more than make it up in labor and shipping, and you don't have to wait for your "car parts" to clear customs. If you plan a few weeks out I've found that Steve from SB usually ships the same day you order.

Did you follow the instructions in the article? Did you have any problems? Where do you get the spline tool to remove the bolts? How long did it take to change out a wheel trim ring?

I recently replaced two rings myself following the article and found it to be a straightforward job. The tedious part was torquing down all the bolts properly. I also used some heat on each bolt before removing them just to be on the safe side.

19 x 9 inch mag wheel clearance
These came on the Lincoln Mk4 so they are 5 x 4.5.... will an adaptor be ok?
I have a set of 19 x 9 inch wheels with the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern and mounting at the outer side....has anyone had clearance issues
mounting larger wheels and tire on the xk8 ? my plan is to put a used tire on one wheel and try them for fit
