Those are incredible

Looking for some rare vintage wheels? We just ran a post about these on our blog. From a rarity perspective, we think these might have just about anything one-upped.

So those wheels dont even have the holes drilled?
That's new.

Single lug. Popular on race cars.Originally Posted by silvermannn
Another view..

It's worth going to the Ebay listing to see all the pics. Shots like this one show that they're actually cast with a bolt pattern in the rear albeit not an Audi bolt pattern. That red Worthersee B5 appears to have had his drilled.

Actually the seller of the wheel is giving some very bad advice....
The wheels he is selling are the centerlock version and the holes are for the pins in that set up. The audi pictured has the multi lug centers like a normal wheel. BBS made two different centers, and under no circumstances should the centerlock version be drilled for multi lug use

Why is that? Does it interfere with the integrity of the wheel?
#9
Yes, the castings are very different for the two versions. This info came straight from BBS by the way.

Well time for one of us to get some centerlock adapters, if they can do that. Or get new hubs!

Thanks for the clarification. I wonder why the castings with the bolt pattern. I don't recall the EB110 ever using anything but center lock.

http://rollhard.co.uk/The ET38 centrelock BBS’ were always going to need some fettling to get on the B5, centrelock adapters would have given too much poke so the decision was made to drill these to the Audi’s PCD. The work on these is faultless; it’s hard to tell that these didn’t originally come in 5 stud fitment. Needless to say that with some spacing of the rears this thing sits perfect in a way we haven’t seen since the touring car days.
This guy drilled the wheels.

Yeah read that after the link was posted above, again according to BBS that is a very bad idea

Thanks for the link. I caught up with the guys from RollHard and we just re-posted the story on the site. You can find it HERE: http://fourtitude.com/features/Featu...-via-rollhard/
