madmax 14 Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Does anyone currently know whether the GOODYEAR letters are available on a group buy again? I’d like five sets if anyone knows how to obtain them. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PhilW 400 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Luc The gold on those was done prior to my ownership so no idea. I too have a set of original BBS with gold center but no idea of the colour match. Sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bazza 907 1,056 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I've seen them done with Subaru gold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Luc 24 Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Subaru or clio williams gold, yes, but it is quite different from the classic gold bbs. Gold bbs is more white cream and shiny. BBS give me this answer : "Sorry, BBS Gold colour is no RAL-coded colour as it is a special effect colour using special pigments. BBS never published a code for it. It is not available as single product. BBS Gold colour only is used in the factory wth newly built and revised used racing wheel centres." Then, they don't want to communicate a RAL-like bbs gold. Do you have the real original color three-parts wheel bbs ? Can you try to match it with a color chart ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NG5 7 Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 This any good? https://www.pwmotorsport.com/pr,175,1x-400ml-aerosol-bbs-racing-gold-400ml-lacquer,shop,bbs-products,bbs-paint.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Luc 24 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Quite impossible to spray homogeneously inside the center wheel holes and sticks... I gave the wheels to a specialised compagny for wheel restoration (acid, sandblasting, unveiling, epoxy powder electrostatic paint, oven hardening...) Finaly they said BBS gave them the color (they said bbs doesn't give the color to individual person, but they give it to compagnies) So let see saturday... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bazza 907 1,056 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Looking forward to seeing the finished wheels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmax 14 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 A friend of mine has some split rim compomotives that he says were off an Essex car and has asked where he can obtain centres for them. Ive compared them to mine and the centres seem far bigger than on my own Conpomotives. Can bigger centres be obtained from anywhere to restore these wheels? My own type of centre next to his ‘Essex’ one ????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
