Wheels look fantastic!

Did you refurbish them your self? If so congrats im sure all the hard work payed off! Would be interested to know how hard they were to bolt back up and seal and if there were any tricks?

Once again look great and look foward to seeing pics on the car!

They are RS033, 15x6.5, ET34 (or 38, can't remember). They are 4x100 and the centre bore is 57.1mm, which emant they bolted straight on.

I did refurbish them myself. It was easy enough to pull them apart (large mallet and heat gun required) and putting them back together wasn't too strenuous. When you bolt them together you do it 'dry' and then seal the gap after they are torqued up.

I had the centre nuts and lips mirror polished, the centres were powder coated and I hand polished all the bolts (not good for sanity).

I believe you can do it the other way too. I siliconed mine as I bolted them together, and the fact that you have to remove silicon from the mounting surfaces after pulling them apart from the original factory assembly would suggest that they dont dry assemble and then silicon... Mine pushed the silicon out the edge where it was spread as a bead around the rim. A mate who works at a wheel repair shop helped me with them.

Nice wheels, though. I think they are almost the same dimensions as mine. I heart RS...

Hi Mate,

Where did you get the BBS splits from? Or do you know where I can get the outer rims...i want a 2.5" dish for BBS RMs 15".

Any help would be great!
