Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey, I just bought a set of bbs re's and I want to run different centercaps. Since bbs makes rims for Porsche, they are under contract not to design aftermarket rims to accept oem centers . In any event I have been researching some stuff and came across some centers, eric from tirerack posted. However, What fits the re's? It is stated, just for all others. Are they all the same? Also I was on the FVD website and noticed a set of dummy centerlocks for bbs rims, will those fit my re's? Cargraphics has the same dummy centers, will those fit or are those the same? Basically from what I have seen, I want to get the dummy centerlocks, but if they cannot fit or be made to etc, then the carbon bbs ones, if again those fit. Help! thanks.

POST 2Original post

Dummy centerlocks? Why not the standard BBS centercaps? To each their own and certainly nothing personal, but IMHO... Sorry.

POST 3Original post

Hello, Thanks for your interest in our product, however our center caps will not fit BBS wheels because as you said the hole is a different size then a Porsche wheel. The only BBS wheel our centercap fits is the BBS Magnesium wheel. Max, Rice?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

right, but is that centercap then, of the same size as the oem porsche centercap then?

POST 5Original post

Sean, I feel your pain I went through the same thing a few years ago with a set of LMs, it really sucks that the oem centers will not fit. At one point I was working with Ralph Boothe to build a custom set of his centers for BBS wheels, the project never really got off the ground but you might give him a call and see if he can help you.

POST 6Original post

Yes sorry to not be clear, one version is the Porsche OEM size and the other is specailly made for the BBS Mag. (different then OEM and Regular BBS).

POST 7Original post

But they do look really nice on the BBS magnesium.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey Evan I noticed you now offer a dummy center for the bbs on the fvd site, what size is it 70mm? If so how do they install?

POST 9Original post

Hello, What you are seeing is the ones for the BBS Mag. wheels, our site was just redone, and I see they forgot to put the Mag. part. I will be letting them know ASAP, sorry to get your hopes up!!

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

damn. what size are those anyways???

POST 11Original post

I can't remember off the top of my head, but will check and reply when I get in tomorrow and have a chance to measure them...

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

k, because if they're 70mm then that is what my re's take
