I recently had a set of BBS RS built by SpinFab.
Wheel info:
16 inch faces slant lipped to 18s
5x114 re-drilled to 5x112
The faces are powder coated (along with the back of the hub)
Using stock VW lug bolts (ball seat, M14 x 1.5 x 27mm)
Here are my issues/questions:
The re-drill on the wheels weren't lining up correctly with the lug bolt holes.
The metal hub rings that were provided do not mount on to the wheel hub. And the hub rings provides were uneven when we measured them with a micrometer.
Both the lug bolt holes and hub rings are covered in powder coat, so I'm not sure if that is the issue.
When I finally did get one of the wheels on the car and spun it while the car was suspended on the jack the wheel wobbles like crazy.
Do you think this is due to the re-drill being off or do to the fact that the back of the wheel hub is powder coated and causing the wheel to sit unevenly? We were able to finally get the wheel on with all of the lugs with plastic hub rings that we had laying around, but the wobbling is out of control.
Any ideas on what the issue could be and how to fix it? (Powder coat on the back of the wheels is too thick, wrong lug bolt size, messed up re-drill, etc...???) I know one of the wheels is bent because when I had the tires mounted and balanced the guy called me over to explain that on of the front wheels was bent and he balanced it the best he could but could not promise that it wouldn't vibrate while I was driving.
