March 11, 200521 yr 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
March 11, 200521 yr 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.
March 11, 200521 yr Author They certainly seem to be rare, but the condition of these wheels is pretty shabby. 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.
March 11, 200521 yr Author 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!!!!!
March 11, 200521 yr Author I don't get to Tacoma much, Alan. This morning was too early; this was the next to last car they put out today. was this at the pap in lynnwood today? what car? i was there this morning
March 11, 200521 yr At least it was a pair. Now I just need to find another pair somewhere. I have a pair of wheel I need to find 2 more of as well.... and I don't think I'll ever find 'em......
March 11, 200521 yr Author I take it it's not what I found today. I have a pair of wheel I need to find 2 more of as well.... and I don't think I'll ever find 'em......
March 11, 200521 yr ed, maybe you should look into that ebay auction and see if they want to buy yours?
March 11, 200521 yr I take it it's not what I found today. unfortunately no .... Ed, do those wheels use regular lug nuts, or alloy style?
March 11, 200521 yr Author 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?
March 11, 200521 yr Author 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?
March 11, 200521 yr 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.

March 11, 200521 yr Do you work at the PAP, or just a frequent customer? LOL Oh boy! You don't know Ed! He is our PAP hermit out here, he might as well have a salery from PAP!
March 11, 200521 yr 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)
March 12, 200521 yr 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.
March 12, 200521 yr Here is some possible info. BMB 800 North Center Gardner, KS 66030 US Website: phone: 913-856-6550 fax: 913-856-6763 Bmb Directory Listing on StreetPerformance Found it at: http://www.streetperformance.com/parts/bmb.html
March 12, 200521 yr Author 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? LOL
March 12, 200521 yr Author 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.
