Title: BBS Stainless steel rim protector
Post by: Aparoon on July 14, 2009, 04:50:26 pm
I have been looking at wheels in my pvw mag and it says that black edition ch's have a removable stainless steel lip, does anyone know if these can be baught separately and if they would fit pescaras?

They can indeed be bought separately, but they are around £40 from what I can remember. I don't know if they will fit Pescara's though

You can definitely get them here: http://www.pwmotorsport.com/  (although they may not be on the website).  As far as I know they don't fit Pescaras.

How do they attach, are they only for use with the black edition?

They come on the black edition of the CH but will fit the silver - not sure about fitment although it does say on the BBS site that they can be fitted without removing the tyre.

I spoke to pw motorsport today, they can get these no problem from bbs, they are £40 each and apparently are self adesive so should fit on no problem. Didint say anything about how deep they are though.

Yeah apparently so, just remove the backing and stick them on, i think they would look quite smart  8)  ( and would also cover the scuffs from the previous owner  :embarrassed:)
