Hi Peoples.

Was going to put these on my car, but circumstances have changed and I need the extra cash.

What we have here is a full set of 4, lightweight, magnesium centered, 3 piece center lock racing rims.

These have the rare deep centered face and can clear massive brakes.

post-94131-0-96186200-1382568312_thumb.jpg

They are a staggered set.

Sizes are:

Front: 18" x 10" -2.5mm offset (8" inner barrel and 2" lip)

Rear: 18" x 12" +1.5mm offset (9" inner barrel and 3" lip)

They were originally off a Porsche 996 RSR cup car, so have a 130pcd for the drive pins.

They are used, so if you want them shiny, the lips will need to be polished and the centers repainted, but they are racing rims.

They have a silver face, but i was going to have them redone in BBS Gold. My personal favourite.

Even when they are dirty, they still looking farking awesome!!

They are all straight, without cracks and roll true.

Asking $3500 plus delivery, or pick up from Wollongong NSW.

These things are unreal, and would cost you almost $10,000 to buy brand new.

So pick up an awesome set of rims for a fraction of the price, and best of all, being 3 piece you can change the barrels and lips to suit your needs.

If you want close up pics of the rims, PM me your number and i can send them to your phone.

Nothing says racecar like a genuine set of centerlock BBS racing wheels. And why centerlock???? Because RACECAR!!

The offsets are off.

If they were close to whats stated, I would have looked into them more :)

What do you mean by "they are off"?

With a 9" rear lip and 3" front lip, +1.5 offset doesn't sound right.

Also with a 8" rear lip and a 2" front lip, couldn't possibly be negative offset. Unless the bolt point goes that far back.

have worked with porsche cup wheels.

I believe the front do have around 2inchs of meat(maybe more) where the splines hook I to, so the offsets wouldnt surprise me.

I get where you are coming from. Its kinda hard to picture it but the center drop on these to the mounting face is enormous!!

On just the center piece alone there is a total hieght of around 103mm which is around 4". Then the lip mounting face receeds back by about 1". Then you have 3" worth of outer lip on the rear, so that is very close to 6" from mounting face to outer lip. And being the rears are 12" wide, that leaves very close to 6" from the mounting face to the inner lip.

Same with the fronts, except they are 10" wide, and the inner and outer halves are 1" smaller in width (2" total) which gives you the same senario.

Here are the measurements i took from the mounting face to the very outer edges of both halves of both front and rear rims.

Front:

from mounting face to inner lip 136mm

from mounting face to outer lip 141mm

= -2.5mm offset

Rear:

from mounting face to inner lip 165mm

from mounting face to outer lip 162mm

= +1.5mm offset

There is around 64mm of caliper clearance from the mounting face to the rear face of the spokes at the far most point, to clear the massive calipers they use.

These really are an amazing rim. I dont really want to let them go, but like i said, I could use the extra cash right now.

If anyone is interested in these, I have a mate who can do a custom bolt on center lock conversion to suit these wheels and make it any pcd you want to suit any stud pattern.

He already has the design made up and ready to go.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
