Longshot - UK Contact, Devon
Not sure if anyone can help me out, but I have found a set of BBS RS in a Fiat fitment (not very common) in the UK that are primed for a refurbishment. The problem is the shop will not ship here so I would possibly need someone to collect the wheels and then forward them on to me, and the shop is in Torquay which is in the south, so a little out of the way for some, but thought I would ask to see if anyone knows of someone who could help out.

Re: Longshot - UK Contact, Devon
Thanks guys, have possibly a few options....
Looking at the specs and model number these look like they were originally spec'd for an early Lancia Delta Integrale, not that I can find a pic with them though, but wheels should be older than some of you

Re: Longshot - UK Contact, Devon
They are not those wheels, just referencing the size/bolt pattern, they are BBS RS (classic mesh) but were originally made for that Lancia, that is the fitment I am trying to pick up. And yes hot, hot car!!Blair

There was one near where I lived for a long time, never moved, and the passenger seat was off the rails sitting in the backseat. Always would stop and gawk at it.Comment

Re: Longshot - UK Contact, Devon
I was looking at buying one instead of the m5. Saw one driving around Rome too. Kinda sad I didn't buy it

Re: Longshot - UK Contact, Devon
I think the M5 was a better choice.
I can't even imagine how hard getting parts for it would be. Would be insane, being a lancia, it isn't really known for its reliability and such. But my god is it good looking.Comment

Re: Longshot - UK Contact, Devon
Well the M5 might be better in the long run, but the chance to have a Lancia Delta would be soooooo tempting!!!
Looks like I may have found a more direct solution to the wheels situation, just waiting to hear from a couple parties and how much it will actually cost to get them pristine and to the 16x8 et20 spec I am after. Could be as much as some new custom wheels but a very classic set that suits the car is so tempting...Blair
