Hi, posted earlier without wearing my glasses lol. Can anyone tell me if these rims can be separated easily by a d.i.y. person or need specialist attention. I need to refurb mine ?? Thank you for your assistance

 

l am not familiar with 19 inch version of BBS wheels but the 20 inch are certainly DIY
correct spline bit for bolts and preferably a touque wrench and threadlock for reassembly.

 

I think "easily" may not be the most appropriate adverb but, as several members will attest, it is within the capabilities of a determined D.i.Y.'er.

Can you tell me if replacement bolts are easily available and if so are they stainless?

 

As you are in the UK, S B Wheels in Birmingham is a good source of BBS spares and the owner, Steve is an excellent source of information.

Thanks for the help Graham. Does anyone know if 19" bbs from an xkr will fit straight on a 01 xkr??

 

They seem to appear online often enough. They are titanium and not cheap.

 

brinny,

I would think that the 19" BBS wheel would fit, so long as your XKR does not have Brembo Brakes....Your best bet for correctness is to contact SBWheels, as Graham has suggested or call Dave in Scotland @ https://www.xk8-parts.com/contact-us/ as they deal with these Wheels and parts every day.

Remember, BBS Wheels for XKR's with Brembo Brakes came from the Factory with 20X9" Front wheels and staggered 20X10" Rear....Personally, I have never seen a 19" BBS in the 6 or 7 different styles they made for the XKR.....Detroit, Montreal, Paris & etc. I would say that if you are going yo buy these Wheels new, your best bet would be to go with the 20's, as they are easier to fine and probably cheaper used...These BBS 20" are selling new for about $1195.00 Dollars and that's a lot of Bucks! and I have no idea how many Pounds that is...…………..

Thanks to all who replied. I have decided to give these a miss. I don’t feel comfortable with one or two things and the help I’ve received has made up my mind. I will stick with what I have. Once again much obliged for your assistance.

 

Thanks for coming back with your decision. Too often questions are asked and we never find out the end of the story.
