930 BBS

BBS experience

Dealing with Porsche vehicles on the street as well as the race track has allowed us to become intimately involved with BBS wheel products. These wheels are some of the finest money can buy, and a great addition to any Porsche.

Many Porsches of the 80s came from the dealer with BBS wheels. The Porsches in motorsport such as the 935, 962, and the most recent 996 GT3 cars are also equipped with some form of BBS wheels. We have accumulated the knowledge, parts, extra wheels, and the resources to service the wheels that need attention.


BBS 2 piece

BBS wheel repair

We have the ability to take tarnished, bent, curbed street wheels and make them like new again. Turn around time and cost depends on the level of the project, Paintwork can be done to match OE specs, or custom color matching. Time frame is generally 2-3 weeks from the time we receive them.

Some current styling trends are widening wheels, or changing the OE dimensions of the wheels on modular (2 or 3 piece) street wheels such as the RS, RM or RA. We can not alter the original construction of the wheel. DOT approval is based on the original design when the wheel was manufactured, they can not be altered by us. The area under the centercap of each wheel has the part number, date of manufacture, OE size, wheel offset, and sometimes model numbers. If you are wondering what the original state of your wheels are, call us and we can talk.


BBS RS

BBS RS comments

The BBS RS 3-piece wheel was last manufactured in 1998. Considering how popular the wheels have been, there are still spare parts avaliable. Parts for these wheels are no longer produced, just what has survived since manufacturing stopped.

When servicing wheels they can not be altered from their original state ( a 7" wheel can not be made into a 8" wheel by us). We do not sell parts other than centercaps, centercap parts and emblems. Wheel rim halves are only sold when wheels are sent to us for repair.

Looking for parts for your street wheels?

Please call or email specfic needs. BBS wheels were either 1-piece, 2-piece, or 3-piece on street cars throughout the 80s and 90s. The sizes range mostly from 13"-18" and have been OE on VW, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, as well as other import cars for more than two decades. Part numbers are always helpful, but due to the numerous updates this may be a small part in the puzzle to getting what you may need. The more information that you can supply the better we can help. Identifacation can be difficult, but not impossible.

So if you need wheel halves, centers, bolts, centercaps, whole wheels, or center-cap wrenches, give us a call.

BBS in motorsport

BBS has been at the front of motorsport since their introduction to the marketplace. BBS wheels are found in F1, CART, ALMS, IMSA, ETCC, DTM, Street Stock series, SCCA World Challenge, and throughout the club racing paddocks around the globe. The BBS heritage is even part of Porsche, coming as original equipment on GT cars purchased from the factory. Single piece, or modular wheels can be constructed for virtually any application. Made from lightweight materials such as forged aluminum, and magnesium, they are great for the world of motorsport. If you are building a club race car, or need wheels and parts for racing applications, call us and we can guide you through the steps of purchasing.
