Unanswered: BBS wheels ?

Hello,

I'd like to buy BBS wheels for my Opel GT 1969. Can someone here provide me his specs so that i buy the ones fitting correctly ?

I'm looking for 7J x 15".

Thanks a lot, Bye

I have 8*15 front and 8.5*15 rear on my GT, pic attached

I used to have 7*15 with an ET 22, would imagine the new ones around ET12.....one heck of a sexy dish on them

They're BBS RM's with that 'stretched' euro look on the rubber.

On 15 x 7 on a Opel GT, use ET +20

On 15 x 8 on a Opel GT, use ET +12

Hello Guys,

Thanks a zillion times for those informations !!! I've just two latest ones.

Someone here in Europe is telling me that he has bought 7Jx15" wheels with a ET of 35 and it works. Maybe it works but maybe also it's not really recommended for mechanical reasons (axle damages ). What do you think ?

Another one. The picture is absolutely nice and i definitively love those BBS RM/RS wheels. I've just a practical question. What is the best method to wash them because i can imagine that it is a time consuming pain ...

Thanks again for your help !!! Bye

Torito
