All BBS Racing wheels can be use both as 5 lugs or center lock. Took Gert 3 weeks to deliverd to my house.

 

thanks, Vincent...didn't know that...thought they were different wheels...OUCH!

 

If you order the center lock version it only have the center hole and can not be used in other application. The normal version can be used in both ways. When i have recieved the wheels i will take some pictures of the car so you can se how it looks. I have done some major work to the suspension, brakes, engine, exhaust, interior, exterior mostly RUF so there will be alot of pictures.
There has been alot of work done to wheel geometry/axel hopping in the rear
+ quaife ATB differential, RUF 80 mm exhaust more carbon fiber inside/outside
etc, etc so hoppefully you will enjoy the pictures.

Awesome.Love to have you share your beast with us.
How much does is cost to get center lock system? Do you have to wrench torque to 250NM plus.

 

I think the gold is going to look sick, especially with center lock conversion, the wheel itslef is going to look awesome, congrats! I cant believe you waited 4 months though?!? lol

 

The center lock parts are around 4000 dollar + new front and rear disks ( incl. pads ) for center lock around 5000 dollar + BBS whells for center lock around 6000 dollar + installation. The Quaife differential is around 3500 dollar incl. installation. All prices are in Sweden.

I forget the torque. You have to wrench torque to 450nm. The torque tool i bought from Snap On for 1250 dollar.

BBS makes several different centers, some are 5 bolt, only few are both 5 bolt and center lock (which the 5 bolt holes are over sized to accept the drive pins) and then there are a lot that are center lock only centers.

Another (and less expensive) way to convert to center lock is to use the aftermarket screw in drive pins but, then you have to enlarge the five drive holes in rotor to accept the pins. Then you buy the center spud and Lock rings from PMNA and you can mill the lock slots or even use a 3" cutoff wheel and easily and neatly cut the slots without taking anything apart. Most of the parts can be purchased from GMG and it shouldn't be much more than about $1500. I've used that set up for the past 3 years and it has worked very well.

 

Personally I'd go for gold.

 

I've never had BBS tell me anything more than a few weeks wait on any of their race wheels.

4 months?

 

Gold for sure!

 

Sharky has posted a pic some time ago of his black TT with gold BBS magnesium wheels on. You may want to hit him up for a pic. Not center lock, but will give you an idea.

Got you covered, here are some pics of Alex's car with them, he's actually selling them on his site too!

 

Vincent, can we see some pics of your car with the BBS?

I am not so sure about Gold centers on a Porsche
