Are you talking about mine?

If I wanted to use wobble bolts, the BBS LM fronts I have on that car will fit the F56.

 

 

James,


That's crazy bright. Its will turn heads. Wow. Is that a flip color R53 in front of you ?

 

Yes that's Jonathan Baskin the owner of Dipnosis. 05 JCW Color Shift Metallic Pearl Dip

 

Only seen a couple of flip color painted R53 models and its was Park Lane MINI in the UK. Rare indeed.

 

This us his r53

 

I'm thinking about buying these ESM wheels



They're 17x8 et 35 with a 205/40 tire. Just wondering if this would for sure work?

 

What wheels are these?

I think they are DR34s but im not sure...

Edit: they are the bbs rc323 style

 

It will poke past the fenders in the front.

 

Anyone want to lend a hand? BC has asked me to measure these distances on my F56 but I'd rather have multiple data points to give them. Ignore the numbers on here, it's just an example to follow. We just need to measure the distance between the mounting points on the top hats. They think their F30 camber plates will fit the F56, they just need to re-drill the mounting points.

 

The part numbers of the F30 and F56 strut mounts are different, but the drawings look very similar, with the mounting holes appearing to be the only difference. Seems plausible they're semi-compatible.

 

Hi guys, i'm from Italy,
probably in a few months i'll order an F56 JCW, and i wish to have my dreams wheel on it: the BBS RG-R Diamond Black 17"
U know if this option fit with a JCW caliper ?
This wheel is not sold in Italy, so in case, i've to buy online from US and i want to be sure I can fit them without problems...
I will appreciate any help u can give me...
I'll be in Albany NY area from Aug 28 to Sep 14, so if there is anyone in that area I will be happy to meet him.

Tks in advance,
Fabrizio

 

Well I can't get a good enough measurement, too much crap in the way. Guess they'll have to do the legwork themselves.

Also DSG_VA, it would probably be way cheaper to buy it somewhere in Europe than here. I'm sure they sell it in Germany.

 

Unfortunately no Vic, i already sent an email to the BBS headquartier in Germay but they reply me that the RG-R is made only for the US and Japan market !!
Probably are direclty buit in US by BBS USA....

 

BBS builds some wheels in Japan. Had a set of LMs with a made in Japan stamp.

 

If you want forged Bbs wheels for a f55/56 the RF516,Rev056 will fit.

 

I'm running autocross with SCCA and need a second set of wheels but I'm struggling to find some lightweight ones.

I'm currently using the OEM wheels, 17 X 7 - ET:54. By SCCA rules, if I want to remain in street classification I'm restricted to the same width but can move 1" up or down on seat size. Plus, ET must be within +/- 7mm. The real kicker has been the 5 x 112 BCD. My current wheel/tire combination weights 45 lbs! I should be able to take 10 lbs off that.

I contacted the wheel manufacturer on a wheel I'm interested in and they agreed the 5 x112 was difficult at the moment, that I could re-drill some 5 x 114.3s or they would drill a minimum order of 40. Anybody need any wheels?

Any suggestions would be great!

Call John at Ccw.

 

VW uses 5x112 PCD - use that as a starting point.

 

I dont want forged BBS at all.... i only like RGR and i wish to know if fit on F56 w JCW brake...

The other option is CK 17x7.5 or CH but this is note less than 18"

I saw a pic from Japan about RG-R fitted on a R56 JCW..

Checked Bbs germany and found no offerings for the FJCW. TireRack has yet to test fit a FJCW and at this time only offers tires.

I would contact CCW in Daytona Fl and have them make you a set of wheels Usd $8xx per wheel.CCW is very high quality and is used in many different racing series.

 

Sorry but my english lever is pretty low
What u mean when u say "wheels Usd $8xx per wheel" ?
I'lle be in Albany area from Aug 28 to Sep 29, and visiting Boston.... U maybe know some place where i can try to go to ask ?

Tks

It means each individual wheel is approximately $800-$899. They're a custom wheel company.

Another good option is Fifteen52 wheels. They have tons of options and also design wheels for racing.
