Hi Guys im actually an e30 bmw owner, i do like mx5s though!

But i have noticed a lot of mx5s with BBS RS 15" wheels, and im after one outer dish for a 7.5 inch wide one, with a 1.5 inch wide dish.

Can ANYONE help with this or know who has parts in NZ???
Im having to resort to spending huge cash otherwise from london for the bits!

Cheers

What you have posted looks like a two/three piece wheel.
The factory BBS wheel is one single casting so you can't change the offset etc by mixing and matching inners and outers.

yes thats right the RS is a two piece wheel. Im sure ive seen the same on more than a few mx5's just not in re-furbushed condition like that one.

If you are just after the outer you could speak to someone like Arrow wheels who manufacture 2/3 piece wheels.

The factory BBS MX5 rims were one piece, as Growler said, and the 15s were 6" wide. (tho aftermarket may well be almost any size)
When I had an E30, I fitted some BBS factory rims,also 1 piece....they were 15 x 7.

there are TWO specialist mag wheel repairers in Tauranga that do excellent work on bent wheels..i had two steel wheels repaired as they had major pothole damage and now theyre perfect. When i took them in to get fixed he was working on an absolutly shagged RX7 mag that i would have thrown out, but it was fixed like new...give them a call...

they are ..ROAD WHEELS NEW ZEALAND, 15TH AVE TAURANGA, PH 07 5785296
