Wanted BBS split style 42

[Lee]

That's mad never seen an alloy almost split I half!

If you want I can stick an advert on my Buy n sell page.

P.S I cant see any splits or is the split just the internal face?

Cracked about 12 inches long and a huge flat spot.
Also could not have happened any further from the hotel right at the top of Skye still had 80 miles to return but everyone clubbed together to get Sean moving also the official Zroadster pothole filling crew were quick to deploy and sort out the hole temporarily

Guys, I'm in the middle of making a claim, is it even possible to get a new BBS 728

I would suggest contacting BBS Germany and a BMW dealer here.

Also German ebay might have a new one (as I’m assuming you need a ‘new’ price for a claim)

This guy https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/oldtimerwheels

Deals in older wheels- based in Slovenia I think and goes all over Germany getting wheels.
You actually only need the ‘barrel’ part of the face is ok and he may just have that (I’ve messaged him in the past about doing custom sizes and he seems to be able to do anything).
Just don’t spend too much time looking at all the shiny split rims he puts on there!!

How many screws are there and are they the same pattern spread as a 108?

Simple question: How did you not see THAT pothole @Sean d

He, like us all, was busy looking at the other eleventytwenty pot holes. Oh, and he was going FAF at the time


It was done in the name of Zorg science, @Sean d took one for the team and tested a space saver for Team Zorg. They work.

Did I mention he was going FAF

Yep, he tested mine by putting 80 miles on it

Reported the pothole online and the claim form is on its way, taking it for a laser realign tomorrow

Thanks again pal, also did 65mph on it

 

[Dino D]

Thanks again pal, also did 65mph on it

I really didn’t like having to use that biscuit on the rear on motorways- it was very weird but had to do 60 to keep up with the lorries!

It felt surprisingly good on the straights, pleased I didn't have to use it to do applecross and the 14 hours journey home
