Title: BBS RM's which versions plus the ins and outs I need to know! Help please :)
Post by: AdamMk2 on 08 October 2008, 23:54

Im trying to define the differance between the fair few versions of RM's I believe I have seen, now colour obviously is a recon spec choice etc but what Id like to know is Ive seen people putting BBS 001 (Am I right to assume these are the first original RM's?) and then people advertising say (This is a randon number) BBS RM 034 or something?!!!

Now the RM's come in 3 and 2 piece?? Is this correct, if so this leads to my final question!!

Can you buy larger dishes for the 2 piece RM's???

 :laugh:  :laugh:   :laugh: Not a confusing post!!!!

Cheers

RM's are 2 piece. RS are 3 piece. The extra number is the BBS model code that is marked on each wheel. Yes you can get wider dishes for RM's. Yes they are god's own wheel.

note the centre caps, RS have the 'mesh' section all the way to the nut. RM's have the little spots. The most common RM's are RM 012, the most common RS's are RS 001.
