Hi all, Okay This might be a stupid question, but I just bought these 18" inch rims of Ebay for my 348, but how do I remove the centerpiece ? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Ahhhhhh - thanks! Pretty impossible to find, but Ill co tinue searching. If anyone here on the forum has a wrench they will sell, please let me know
That center cap looks extremely similar to the BBS center caps, and those BBS center cap wrenches are plentiful on eBay - two styles, ranging from $12 to $40. Measure the diameter across the flats of the 'nut', then check the eBay ads. some say 80mm. Search eBay for "BBS center cap" to see the various similar BBS versions; Search eBay for "BBS center cap wrench" to see the wrench styles and options. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I have a customer with similar wheels. It has a round wrench with notches that fit just inside the hex of the cap, around the black center. Interestingly enough, I discovered they were not all exactly the same. While putting the caps back on, the last one would not screw on. I could not get the threads to start. I finally tried another cap and it went right one. I found that two wheels had center caps that were just fractionally bigger and would not seat in and allow the threads to start. Bottom line. Mark the caps and wheels to avoid any issues.
NO STOP! DO NOT turn the big hex on the center cap as it doesn't turn, Speedline is not like that. Turn ONLY the Black plastic piece by inserting an inch flat metal "U" shape into the small slot and turn it, you can only then remove the big hex piece after removing the black plastic piece. The black plastic piece is screwed directly on to the wheel that keeps the Big Hex from coming off. Pics below is my friends Speedline 17" Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hi All, so what I have discovered is that BBS has a hexagon shaped wrench that fits this wheel, but as Mike mentions its the black plastic piece that should be turned. To do that you need the speedline safety key or come up with an alternative solution Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I bought the safety tool from a user on instagram so Im good for now thanks for all the replies Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
