BBS Rim Protectors?
« on: April 08, 2009, 02:02:22 pm »
Will these fit Pescara's?
I assume they are some kind of push on device?

I thought you could only get them for 19" rims?

It mentions the protection for BBS CH (basically what pescara's are right?)

there only on the black edition ch from what i remember, and those in the picture on the BBS site, basically they need to come from the factory with a removable edge, you cant retro fit them to your pescaras

I can only really confirm that the rim protectors are available on 19". I've not seen any on 18" CH's and the only other vAariant I've seen on the 18's is black with a painted red lip and black with a silver cut lip.

Hurdy do you know how the protectors come off ? (there should be instructions with the wheels)

Quick answer....No! :ashamed:

I would have thought that they would be reasonably easy to take off once the tyres are off though.

States on the bbs site they come off without having to remove the tyres.

I asked a while ago in prep if I get mine done in shadown chrome - the protectors are about £40 each (19" version)

It was Phil who I asked about price but I assumed they would have to be done before fitting tyres.

Has anyone asked pw-motorsport about this, phil has probably got some in stock and would be able to match them up against other rims to see if they would retro-fit okay?????
He could at least tell you how they were fixed and removed. Not sure if he's a member on here but is/was often over on golfgti and uk-mkv's
