Trying to help a local guy find a BBS RA wheel

[HarryPR]

A local E21 owner is looking for a 15 x 7 BBS RA wheel to complete his set. ANyone have one for sale or any leads? Pic attached.

Admin: This probably goes in the Parts Wanted area, so please go ahead and tow it if so.

Thanks,

try vwvortex (the forum)

Last time I was on there, there were a dozen or so sets of RA's for sale. Someone might be willing to ship to PR.

Hi Harry,

This is one of my secret fave place to cruise for rare wheels... (many not 02 period correct -- FTMFW.)

Bring $$$... Got RAs and other nice BBs tho'.

Thanks for the info. I'll check the sites you guys mentioned.

I figured it was worth a shot posting here and at Bimmerforums before going to the Vortex. Haven't fared well buying stuff there..

I have a beautiful set of restored RMs....RAs?

Thanks, yeewiz! I had forgotten about Dave.

Andy, those wheels are sweet! I guess that the difference between the RM's and RA's is that one has a flat dish and the other doesn't.

Thanks, Harry, I got them from Bo Black. He did the work. If you know anyone looking for some... (hint, hint)

[yeewiz]

per Dave's site, the RM's come 6.5", 7" and have rivets. I have RA's from Dave and they are 6". Also look at the weight.

It has a bend in it but could be easily repaired by any competent wheel repair shop. Located in Vacaville,CA.

RM's are three piece like RS. Way much lighter and more expensive than RA's that are just one piece. The dish/no dish comes from different ET's.
