Refurbished BBS RC090

Post by rhanley 635csi89 »

Kevin, thank you for the heads up on installing the waffles and tightening the set screws, I was not aware of this. The car is still at the body shop and I'm hoping Paul has made them aware of this. I'll follow up on Monday with all parties.
The refurbishment was not inexpensive, however, they do look nice. Attached is a photo of the finished rims with new Continental Sports mounted. Paul also polish the bumpers, not sure how they turned out. All the pieces were clear ceramic coated as well.

I am using the Lincoln center cap conversion on my RC90 2 piece wheels. Am I missinf something about a grub screw? And if so where is it? I have taken the wheels apart and reassembled them myself and don't recall seeing one

Hi Bert,
I believe the grub/set screw pertain to RS90 wheels, cast aluminium only. Apparently they hold the waffles in place on the webs. I'll request photos from Paul and the body shop to post.

The plastic waffles of the RC90 lock into place.

How's the Lincoln hub project coming along?

The set screws are in a threaded ring that the hex cap screws into for the RS waffle conversion. Regular RC090/Style 5 caps don't need or have the ring.

Thank you for clearing it up. Roger project is fine but no rush as I am still waiting for the pistons for my engine and that is the main priority.
