Looking for a machine shop in the North Staffordshire area
« on: January 24, 2012, 07:56:19 am »
Hi guys,

I've recently bought a set of split rim BBSs (which ones will remain a secret for a while- but it's nothing to get excited about), but they're Merc fitment so the offset is a little low. There is a for sale thread on Edition 38 for some Braid split rims and they seem to have a small spacer that runs between the rim and the barrel to increase the offset so there's less poke. I want to get something similar made up to my requirements. If this isn't possible, I'll still need someone to machine a few mm off the hubs.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

S.
