I have a set of these four BBS wheels which I am trying to identify. I thought that they would be bbs rs wheels but they are not 3-piece wheels. Anyone have a clue on these? They came off my old 1986 951 and now are on my 1985/1 944. The biggest reason is because I have to put new tires on it as they are 10+ year old rubber and are 225/45-16 and 245/45-16 and whenever I look them up it claims the optional size is 205/55-16 and 225/50-16.
So any help would be appreciated and these may possibly go up for sale what is the value of these wheels as I know they are rare ?
Not sure of type wheel, however 245/45/16 is usually found on an 8" rim. 225/5016 usually on 7" rim. Rim size and offset can be found either near schrader valve or on rear of rim. I have not seen a tire 225/45 but 245/45 is hard to find and kind of expensive. If selling them remove tires and sell without rubber (easier to ship)
The real problem with BBs wheels (I believe) is they really date a car to the '80's.
I typed the tires sizes wrong they are front 225/50-16 and 245/45-16, the center caps all have bbs 09.23.137 part numbers which leads me to believe they might be BBS RZ wheels ?
They are close to the BMW wheels but the spokes don't continue onto the lip, they are smooth lipped. I was told that these are hard to find because 16" wheels for a 1986 turbo are extremely rare. These are for a 1986 turbo also.
Similar but these have the twist lock covers that hide the lug nuts. I still haven't been able to find them anywhere and am sure that they are extremely rare.
