Alex and others,
I just purchased a set of BBS RGR's. I am having the wheels mounted and I was told that I needed to have hubrings installed. I know that the stock hubrings for the MCS are 56.1mm. Do you know what sizing do I need for these RGR's?

Thanks,
Carl

Carl:

I bought my RGRs from the tire rack about three weeks ago (I just got my MCS thursday and will install them tomorrow!). They came with rings and circlips to hold the rings in the wheel. I believe both were OE BBS. If I were you, I'd call the vendor you bought the wheels from and ask for them. If that doesn't work, contact BBS directly and see who you could buy them from. Why not try the tire rack?

Good luck,

Alex,

Do you mean 70mm outside diameter and then 56.1mm inside diameter for the RGR 17X7?

Thanks all.
Carl

I'm having the wheels mounted tomorrow.

Thanks Alex.

I just had the wheels mounted with yoko avs es100's. What tire pressure should I use?

I am putting them on this week. I will try to get some pics for you guys to see. The shop wants me to swing by so that they can take a picture of the wheels on the car. They keep a record of cool wheels to show customers.

Thanks,
Carl
