Slammed on 7-series BMW concave wheels
#196
I got my set $450 with tires.
If you throw on the rim it may look like it pokes, but once you get it on the ground it'll camber in and be sunk. With the adapters, it poked maybe a good 10mm in the air once I took the jack out it was flushed.

I'm interested to know more about the drilling process.
Can anyone elaborate on how this is accomplished as the driling needs to be favored towards the wheels axis.
I also notice there are inserts used?
The size and offsets appear perfect for the 2GS!
Nobody seems to have mentioned the bore size on these wheels?
And lastly, has anyone weighed these BMW concave Style95 wheels?

Where do you see reps for $499? Best price I can find is $700. Most people don't want reps. There are some nice chromed sets on ebay too.

No, not replicas. Some guy who just got rims was trying to get rid of the OEM wheels so I swoop by and picked them up. Sold it later for $550 w/o tires

For the guys that are having their wheels redrilled with the steel insert, can you comment on the lug nuts that you are using?
First of all, do the stock GS wheels use a tapered lug nut? And after redrilling with the flat steel insert, do you then need some washer or something with flat lugnuts?
Please clear up the confusion someone.
Thanks

Let us know if they fit.
The centercap world is quite a cluster-F because not only does the diameter need to be right (obviously), but the diameter, depth, and design of the inner claws need to match your wheel.
I've struggled with this on more than one occassion.
