Authentic Fully Restored BBS RS211 5x120 16x8 Wheels Rims for BMW E24 E28 E34 M5

Description: BBS RS 16x8 FORGED 3-piece alloys fully restored. BBS RS211 (5.5" inner barrel and 2.0" lip). All original parts. No aftermarket. 16x8 with an 11mm offset Original cost = $795+ each 30+ years ago. Lug spacing is 5 on 120mm. Center bore = 72.56mm Fully Restored. This included a chemical dip to remove all paint, followed verifying the wheels were true, and repairing some minor curb rash. All 4 wheels required no mechanical straightening. The outer lips and center cap hex nuts were mirror polished to a high luster shine, about as good as you will ever get out an aluminum surface. The entire wheel center (minus the mounting pad and mounting flanges - upper and lower), inner barrel (minus mounting flange), and center cap waffle plate were then powdercoated with a metallic silver resin that very closely matches the stock BMW silver wheel paint color, followed by a clear powdercoat to provide a very thick and glossy durable finish without an orange peal surface texture. One very small portion near the outer lip has a couple of small red stains within the powdercoat. The center, barrel, and outer polished lip were then cleaned and prepared for assembly using chrome-plated original BBS rivets and zinc plated original nuts. The nuts were installed using medium strength Loctite thread locking compound, and then torqued to 18 ft-lbs. A band of silicone sealant was then applied to the outer circumference of the wheel sections to provide an effective seal. I have spun each wheel on a balancer and verified that it is 100% trued and straight. The four restored center caps were assemble using the correct waffle plate retaining wires. Note there are a couple small flaws (dings) in one waffle plate surface. Please see the photos. New OEM 3-D BBS center chips were applied to used center chips and installed within the hex caps. We could not find 3-tab chips so we purchased 4-tab units, ground off the tabs, and used silicone sealant to adhere the chips to the hex nuts. New OEM BBS stainless steel valve stems were installed. The 60 degree conical seat lug hole surfaces were reamed to make sure all the powdercoat was removed from these critical surfaces. This is probably the nicest set of 16" RS wheels I have ever assembled (minus the minor flaws in the waffle plates). Please see all the photos so you can see the quality of the wheels and the restoration work. Supersize to see the details. I've included a few photos of the wheels during the restoration process. These wheels are designed E23, E24, E31, E34, E32, and other older BMW with 5 lugs. They will fit an E30 M3. I have provided the specifications for these wheels. Please study them and understand how they relate to what will fit your car. They will fit only 5-lug BMW and other cars with a 5x120 bolt pattern. They will not fit any other make unless your car has special adapters. Please ask questions if you do not understand. Packaging. I ship wheels in pairs so this set will go out in 2 boxes. Each pair is double-boxed, with rigid foam material between each box. This adds some cost, but my wheels never get damaged in transit. __________________________________________________________________________________ Domestic Shipping: $175 in the lower 48 states by Fedex Ground.
