Default 3 piece Fuchs anyone?

Hello All,

Does anyone have a set of Rebel Racing 3 piece 17" Fuchs on their car?
In particular for an SC.
17x7.5 front and 17x9 rear.

I'm trying to find out what size the BBS rim halves are or possibly, part numbers for the rim halves.

Posted is a pic from Rebel's web site for reference.

Thanks.

I was looking into this and had several posters tell me to stay away from BBS halves. Love the look. I will try to find the link.

Found it:

Yes Clive, they are 'Flash'!

Doug, thanks for the link.
it sounds like they are saying stay away from BBS for doing any work or maybe the price. Surely BBS have the quality?

I have a spare five Fuchs 16x6 that I was going to machine and drill. I was going to clock it up in a lathe and turn the lips off.
Before I take to them, I need to get the halves that suit, hence my original post. Hoping someone has a set for an SC and I can get part numbers for.

You are doing it yourself? ....but ....but ....but

You may just have to go through that third link and build do the math yourself. I was looking at that thinking it would be a mix and match game until it was right. Maybe Bill Verburg has done the math.

Lots of choices in 17"

Yes Doug, all by myself.

I've been a fitter / machiner for 34 years so all I really need is the actual rim half so I can get the I.D of it.

Yep, that's what I'm after!

My only request would be, the next time you change your tires, could you take pics of the part number stickers that the BBS have on them?


Obscene,

That is just a random pic from Rebel Racing to show the style. That's why I'm after the part numbers that would fit

Thanks Kurt,

Are yours 17"?

I've tried several times to log on to Bob's website but it just won't open.
This is on my ipad though.
My lap top was involved in a serious connection incident that resulted in it's decapitation!
