BBS LM (Le-Mans) wheels - quality at a price

Advantages: look amazing and individual, handle the road well, ooze quality
Disadvantages: Over time the standard look will corrode easily, they are bloody expensive brand new!

BBS wheels come from Germany, America and Japan. They are a well known, well respected brand, that make good, solid, beautiful wheels for all sorts of cars. These are prestige wheels though, they are not cheap. A new set of BBS LM’s (Le-Mans) will set you back about £3,000 and that’s without tyres! The “deep dish” look is very popular in the VW modding scene and these wheels soon grew on me. They are popular, yet clearly the price is prohibitive. ...
...potential to corrode over time. BBS will swear otherwise, but I have some to prove it. As a result, my shiny new wheels were let down by their worn out, corroded bolts. You cannot buy direct replacement bolts, which can be a problem. I wont bore you with the story, but I did finally manage to acquire some, from Germany. I chose to go for gold plated bolts, that are corrosion resistant. They sit perfectly in the recess of the dish and look pretty ...

Review of BBS LM-4-Stud-10x18

* A Wheely good review . . .

Advantages: Looks fantastic.
Disadvantages: Costs a fortune.

...am doing this review on BBS 18 inch 5 stud alloys, although most of the information also refers to all other alloys in general. Alloy wheels are actually alloys of aluminium, which contain copper, zinc, manganese, silicon, or in this case magnesium. This makes them strong, and fairly corrosion resistant, but not completely, They can suffer from corrosion, but not rust like steel does. BBS is a world renowned manufacturer of alloy wheels, and their ...
...BBS supplies various F1 teams & their famous split rim alloy wheels, which are available for VW, BMW and Porsche and are amongst the most famous in the business. Although the company has been in the business for some considerable time, they have just recently (August this year) been taken over by a Belgian firm, Punch International NV. They were operating in receivership earlier this year, having problems because of the price of the raw material, ...

Review of BBS RC (8 x 18) 5-stud

"Ultraseal Puncture Prevention....oh, and repair!!

Advantages: IT WORKS ON PUNCTURES AS WELL AS PREVENTING THEM. CHEAP CONSIDERING THE COST OF HIGH GRADE TYRES.
Disadvantages: TOOK ME A WHILE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE THE VALVE REMOVER. NOTHING NEGATIVE

The other day I found the sneaky head of a panel pin (thin nail) sticking out of my SECOND new tyre (previous puncture!!). Not sure how long it would be or if indeed it had gone straight through, I was contemplating new tyr again. Bridgestobne 021 on zx7r....kerching!!! I was directed to a bottle of Ultraseal and told it would fix it. Quite simply, took the valve inners out witht he tool provided in the box. Air comes out FAST but squeezed the ...
...pulled the sucker out. To my HORROR it was p**sing air back out. Gutted at this I again read the paperwork and did as it said. Filled tyre up to rock hard and rodde the bike about 4 miles. On returning I found some of the gel had splattered out of the tiny hole, however, the hole was now sealed!!!! The tyre hasnt lost a single pound of air since and its been a week now. This stuff isnt JUST for preventing punctures. It works for the 'standard' ...

...fades the paint and its really hard to get it off it can stain your wheels but you can always get them reconditioned for approximately thirty pound a wheel. the advantages of having these wheels is being able to fit low profile tires and increase the handling of your vehicle but fitting these wheels with low profile tires will give you a bumpy ride so i wouldnt advise you fitting these to your car if you like a smooth drive. ...

Review of Oz Superturismo WRC (17 inch) 4-stud

Oz Record Alloy Wheels

Advantages: lightweight, stylish
Disadvantages: expensive

Oz Record 16" Alloy Wheels These are aftermarket alloy wheels that you can replace your own cars steel wheels or current alloy wheels with. This may improve handling but most of all the look of your car especially if you are changing these from having wheel trims, you will get a neater look around your wheel arch with less arch gap so it will look like the wheel actually wants to be part of the car. These alloys wheels have a flat, curved, five ...
...and becoming less effective. Oz Records have a carbon fibre centre cap which is in the centre of the wheel which finished the look and design of the wheels off nicely. They also have small Oz decals written on one of those spokes. These are 5 stud wheels and can be bought in various fitments all though you might need spacers to make them fit correctly, you may also need arch work doing so they do no rub and catch on the arches of your car. I picked ...
