No Steel Rims for Me

[TDV6]

I now have six alloy Performance BB6 17x8 inch rims on order, the offset is 45mm and are rated stamped at 945kg.

Delivery time is six weeks, cost $339 each, I am told all wheel nuts and caps are included.

The steel rims just didn’t work out for me.

I am still waiting on info for LT tyres from Pirelli and Yokohama. Bridgestone has replied, they have a LT 265/65/17 116S (1250kg, 180kph)

I think those are the wrong wheels, the older models. The new ones are 1400kg rated, 40P offset and 17x8. 945kg is ok for the D3 though, the factory 19x8s are 940kg.

[Jamo]

yes, my bb6 are 1400kg rated.

I have a confirmed 1400kg rating this afternoon on BB6 rims.

It's amazing how the story changes even within the same company, depending on who's talking.

All sorted, just a waiting game now.

Thanks for your input,

Picked up rims this afternoon, cost including wheel nuts and centre caps was $335 each. This is the second set of BB6 sent to me, I rejected the first lot as the offset was 38mm positive, while what I got today is legal in QLD at 45mm positive, all the other specs were as ordered, 120mm PCD 17x8" 1400kg rated.

Tyres get fitted tomorrow, I got Birdge Dueler A/T D694LT 265/65/17. The tyres have been sitting at the dealer waiting for the rims to arrive. We have a trip to Sydney in a few weeks so that should give us a good idea what they are like.

Have you got your rims yet & fitted tyres? Keen to see how they look.

G'day Tombie,

I thought about the BMW rims but could not get a straight answer about the weight rating, do you have it?

Tyres now getting fitted on Tuesday as the ones that were paid for and in stock, were not the "Light Truck" 116 rating but the lower 112 ordinary AT in D694 pattern

No markings.....

I'll give BMW a ring tomorrow I think...
But I know they've been successfully used on many vehicles without issue

TDV6 Do those wheels and tyres fit in the spare wheel "well".
