BFI Center Cap Adapters For BBS E88 Wheels - Brushed - Set of Four are designed to enhance the appearance of BMW's BBS E88 wheels by covering the open center hole with a sleek, brushed finish. These adapters:
BBS R1C Motorsport Cast Flow Formed light weight race wheel as used on the F22 M235iR customer racing car. This is an 18x10.0" wheel with an ET24 offset and glossy black finish. Each wheel uses the BBS flow forming technology that creates a strong but light weight wheel - 22.8lbs. The M235iR used this wheel on the front and rear to create a square race wheel set. Not only is there more rubber to put power to the pavement (the race car uses 265/660R-18 racing slicks), but more tire in the front helps minimize understeer and improve turn-in grip. The same wheel size also allows you to rotate tires for better tire life. This is the standard bolt pattern and offset for most BMW M3 models but for the F22 wider fenders flares, such as used on the M235iR, will be needed. The M235iR was set up to use 265/660R-18 racing slicks or a 265/35-18 tire. This wheel is very similar to the BBS R1C.
Price is for a set of 4 race wheels.
Wheel studs are among the safest and most beneficial upgrades you can make on a track car. Not only are wheel studs safer than wheel bolts but they make changing wheels/tires much easier. One of the frustrating things about installing your wheels on the hub is that it's difficult to line up the wheel on the bolt holes. As wheels get larger but also heavier it's even more trouble. Add in a wheel spacer and the task is twice as hard. BMW does produce a wheel alignment pin for this purpose but if you're changing wheels often a stud conversion is the better way to go.
MSI Racing specializes in hardware for motorsports and other advanced industries and their wheel studs are some of the very best in the professional motorsports world. MSI is already a major supplier to teams in the top NASCAR categories and we tried them on our Grand-Am/IMSA racecars and were very impressed by the performance and durability of their designs. After testing them over the course of a few endurance seasons we decided to offer them to all of our customers as well. These studs are available in multiple lengthsand all sizes are made with aircraft quality material and have roll formed threads. The coating is a dry film lubricant HM-30 coating containing Teflon & Moly over a manganese phosphate finish. This coating process reduces friction and wear to prevent thread galling. Another benefit is that these have the best corrosion resistance we have seen in any wheel stud! A dry lube stud has the most corrosion resistance than a plain black coating because the lube is applied over the black phosphate coating. Salt tests have shown this stud is superior to others in corrosion resistance. Other features of our MSI studs include a large bullet nose nut-starter and a properly sized shank to work with a wider range of BMW wheel, nut, and brake rotor combinations.
These studs are the perfect choice for endurance racers, sprint racers, track-only cars, or even hardcore street cars. The bullet nose on this stud is deeper than other studs we have used. More of the stud protrudes through the open nut so that everything lines up better on the threads. This helps to eliminate the possibility of cross-threading or thread stripping. In addition, the shank has been machined for proper brake rotor alignment. The dry lube helps the nut engage and glide over the threads for faster pit stops without cross threading or binding.
Not all wheel studs are created equal. We don't take a manufacturer's generic wheel stud from their catalog and call it our own. Turner Wheel Studs are designed to our own specifications and manufactured for us exclusively. Beware of cheaper studs on the market! We have seen other studs similar to our own designs that are not a true BMW fitment. There are differences that we have ironed out over our years of selling wheel studs for the BMW market. Our stud prices may be slightly higher than the rock bottom prices on the web but we promise that it's a higher quality.
Sold per stud.
Wheel nuts sold separately.
