For Sale: Genuine Bbs 18" Forged Alloys 114.3 + Michelin Race Slicks Suit Race Or Track Car Bargain Shipped Anywhere


Recommended Posts

GENUINE BBS 18” x 8” +40 x4 rims PLUS 4x Michelin 240 640 18 Race Slicks

Skyline GTR 200SX 300ZX Mazda RX-7 Soarer Supra FPV XR8 XR6T are all 114.3 x 5. You need to check if the +40 offset fits your car. I am not a tyre shop but you are welcome to test fit at Hawkesbury.

The FOUR tyres were new in December 2009 and used for one weekend of racing (Homebush) and one practice day. They have at least half wear to go. No flat spots. RRP over $500 each new. Stored indoors.

The FOUR BBS (RRP apparently $4000 new?) are forged alloy lightweight rims. You know the ones they make cold out of a block of special aluminium and then stick it between 2 humongous presses and force the aluminium to change shape. Apparently it makes them VERY strong and VERY lightweight at the same time

These wheels are perfect for a race car or track car or just for your street car when you take it to a trackday. They have some minor rashes that can be completely buffed out for $100 per rim but it is not serious and would not need to be done unless you wanted a showcar. The rims shown without tyres have been polished ($100 extra per rim if you want me to organise for these rims) and are shown so you can see what you can do with these 4 rims

From BBS website:

Each and every BBS product is the result of more than merely state-of-the-art engineering and highly innovative production methods. It is also the essence of 35 years of involvement in international motorsport. This solid background is what makes our products so unique.

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
