edrach Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I picked up two of these today at Pull a Part. A 14" 4x140 bolt pattern. I've never seen on of these before and it isn't shown on the wheels page (I'll send you the photo tonight Mick). Anyone have any idea what they are. Made in Japan by BMB Technical Research. It's shame I couldn't get a full set. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=4783&sort=1&cat=598&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craven Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I saw a full set BMB's like thoughs a few months back on ebay. I believe they went for a good hunk of change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 They certainly seem to be rare, but the condition of these wheels is pretty shabby.

edrach Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 I said just about the same thing. They were hard to get off too. I actually broke my 19mm impact socket on one of the lugs. At least it was a pair. Now I just need to find another pair somewhere. Just two?!?!?! NOOOOO!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baccaruda Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 ed, maybe you should look into that ebay auction and see if they want to buy yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Mick, what wheels do you have? I have 3-4 different 13" alloys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I take it it's not what I found today. unfortunately no .... Ed, do those wheels use regular lug nuts, or alloy style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
americanyouth Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 What did the yard do wiht the other two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 I found one wheel attached with lugnuts, one with 19mm acorn nuts, and one with 21mm acorn nuts which require a thinwall socket that I didn't have yesterday. I'll go back today and grab the third wheel if it's still there. unfortunately no .... Ed, do those wheels use regular lug nuts, or alloy style?

edrach Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 One had the 4x14" spare mounted; the last wheel I couldn't get off since it was attached with 21mm acorn nuts and needed a thinwall socket to clear the recessed hole. I'm going back today to grab the third wheel if it's still there. What did the yard do wiht the other two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Might be worth your time to pull the VIN, find out who it was last registerd to, give them a call. They just might have that rim laying around with a flat tire on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

operose Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 That BMB wheel looks to me (from memory) to be the exact same as the wheel on my dad's audi 80 coupe... I'll check.. edit: bad angle of different car, but.... http://www.gtcoupe.se/bilder/galleri/Loov_4.jpg edit2: better angle, better pic: http://www.nordicaudi.com/arkivet/broschyrer/bilder/tillbehor_88/tillbehor_88_02.jpg edit3: tirerack.com lists bolt pattern as 4x108 for the audi my dad has, if I'm remembering the model correctly (either 1988 80 quattro, or 90 quattro) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 See Ed how easy it is to post a picture here. I know I've seen a Subaru here on the Plateau with these wheels. Now I'll be on the look out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Here is some possible info.

edrach Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 No, I don't work there. And I'm not really there that often. I just keep my eyes open and try to anticipate what goes into the yard so I can be there to get what I'm looking for. Sometimes I get it, sometimes I miss out. In the last month I've missed out on a couple sets of Pug wheels, two LSDs, two sets of rear disks, a 97K d/r tranny, and four or 5 webers. It just sounds like I find a lot of stuff since I re-sell a fair amount to keep up with my Subaru addiction. Do you work at the PAP, or just a frequent customer?

edrach Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 Picked up the third wheel today. Managed to read the lettering on this wheel better. The wheel size is 5.5JJ-H2ET. Now if I can find the previous owner and track down the last wheel I'll be a happy camper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
