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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
