QLD BBS RS/RM lips group buy

[VeeDub]

Hi guys, thought i'd include my brothers from other mothers in a group buy i'm doing.

First quote has come through very cheap at around NZD$580 for a set of 15" lips (any width), and more for 16s and 17s. Quotes are still coming through so prices may still vary. So far I am ordering 36 outer lips, some quotes have included free shipping for the whole order to NZ.

If you'd like me to get you a quote on some lips, let me know quantity and size. I'll have them shipped with our order to NZ and then you will have to pay for the shipping from NZ to AUS (should be substantially less than from German i'd imagine!)

Cheers

I'm somewhat interested, do they have centers too?

[VeeDub]

You can buy barrels, lips, bolts, center caps, emblems etc but not centers. (i.e. the center being the part in the middle bolting between the barrel and the lip).

[DubSteve]

I'm saying yes right now I only want two, do we need to PM you the size or just post here?

[VeeDub]

Just post here.

The more of you that go in, the cheaper the postage from NZ to AUS will be for each. (Not sure there are many people with RS in ozzieland though!

[DubSteve]

Out of curiosity does this price include for all 4 or just 2? Also I am looking at 3" in 16s for my RS's.

[VeeDub]

The first quote that has come through is NZD$580 for a set of four 15s of any width. 16s and 17s are considerably more expensive so i'm waiting for all the quotes to come through before I choose the best. I don't want all the 15" boys to get cheap as ones if the 16/17" guys are paying through the nose. Let me know if yours are 30 hole or 34 hole and i'll get prices back in the next few days.

Damn it, why does stuff like this always come up at the wrong time.

Re: BBS RS/RM lips group buy

I'm interested in two 15"

[intensem1]

15inch prices sound good Veedub what widths are available? which company are you organising this through?

I would be interested in knowing prices for 34 bolt 16 and 17inch lips as I'm currently talking with a supplier in hope of making it affordable for RS owners to run the stance they desire.

[Gipson]

thats a good price for four, are they decent quality lips?
I'd be interested in a 15" set of lips, as well as two 17" centre disks and screw in hex nuts if you can get those? have the part numbers here will pm you

[VeeDub]

I've emailed seven different people/suppliers and only have two quotes back. The best of these is the one i've quoted you guys so far and is from Peter at Racing Team Hoffman (Germany). Here is a link to their product.

polished wheel lips shells rims dishes BBS 3x15 RS RM: eBay Motors (item 150295363303 end time Jun-08-10 08:58:33 PDT)

When it comes to lips they're all very similar in quality usually made from 6061 aluminum. You can of course spend twice as much and get heavier but better stainless lips, you won't need to polish them as often. Or spend even more and get radinox lips (if you don't know what these are type in "Radinox lips" to youtube and you'll see why they cost so much). Everyone is happy with aluminum as it's the most affordable and you really can't tell the difference until you hit a kerb, which nobody plans to do.

Prices I have so far on 16" 34hole are 175EURO PER LIP and 17" 34hole are 200EURO PER LIP. Not sure if this is standard but seems pricey. I'll keep you all in the loop. For now so it doesn't get messy, anyone interested in getting a price please PM me how many and what size you'd like me to get quotes for. Currently we have mostly 15" so if we get more 16/17" guys we'll no doubt get better pricing on them too.

Centres are not available, they are specific to BBS RS wheels and are not made by any aftermarket wheels, if they were you'd be able to build a complete set of aftermarket 'RS' wheels. Depends on which supplier we go with but should be able to get bolts, hex centre screws, emblems etc. Once I have everyone confirmed on which lips they'd like and locked down a supplier I'll get the pricing on the other bits and pieces - it was never intended that we'd get any but some people have expressed interest so i'll get pricing on these too. Chin Chin!

Hey mate,
Would they do 18" lips and barrels to suit a 17" centre?
