Restored BBS Wheels

One of the most important part of the Alpina Race Car look is the BBS Basketweave Wheels. I got these off the parts car I purchased and they were in sad shape. 15x7 and a true forged aluminum wheel makes them somewhat valuable. Almost all 4 of the wheels where somewhat off by a few millimeters. One of them was totally off.

I took the wheels to Wheel Techniques in San Jose. Wow! They did a killer job!!! They were able to true up all 4 wheels, strip them, powder coat the centers black and polish the lips in natural aluminum. Daddy’s got a new pair of shoes!!!
