polish the lip with aluminum polish from time to time once it dulls. will shine up like new if you keep on it.

[kosso_olli]

How do you guys here protect the polished outer lip? I thought of applying a layer of clear powder coating to the lip, but I assume it will reduce the shine a bit. Is it okay to just polish the lip and then drive it without any clearcoat or something like that on it? The car is only driven in the summer, so no winter or salt... Will the polished lip get dull after some time?

Thank you, Sir! These are exactly the bolts I need.

Howdy Olli,

I bought my golden bolts for RC 061 and 062 (see above) from here in June. Was the best price available that time.

Hi, sorry if im repeating but havent found any about this:

If I face/front mount my centers, how do you solve the bolts so the fit?
Cuz the splines are bigger in diameter then the bolt holes on the centers are...


Thanks!

Nice job! May I ask you where you got the bolts from? I am rebuilding some BBS RC035 and 039 for my E32 750i, but I could not get the bolts here in Germany. Thanks in advance.

Hi !

Everyone thet rund with plastic centercaps from other Bmw alloys,
upload and tell us how good/bad they fit And with pictures

This is Bmw 7x15, maybe they fit on my Rc?

Plastic. On the 18" style 5, not that it matters.

[Bt12]

My center caps are aluminum ones made by spinfab with a custom metal hex. Not plastic...i have plastic ones too but they dont line up right.

[ViktorSwe]

Hmmm...are the really the original plastic centers from 7x15 alloys from the 90s?

Thanks
