Bbs reps?

Ello!


Hey guys where in the world can I find Miro bbs reps or another similar brand? I know we have the Rota route too but Miro are disgustingly cheap. Especially if I can find miro lm reps..

Anyone have an up to date vendor?

Oh and also on a different note. I found some wheels I like and the center bore is 72.6. If I get some hubcentric rings that are 73mm and size it down to 56.1 will that be adequate? Are the 73mm rings for 73mm bores? or 72.6's? Are they just rounding up? AKA Outmotoring.com's offerings..

Thanks ahead of time.

Miro currently doesn't make a Style 279 (BBS LM replica) in a 4x100mm bolt pattern.
However, ESM Wheels does.

If you locate hubcentric rings from a 72.6mm to a 56.1mm, it'll work.

The rings have an inner and outer diameter: the outer is for the wheel, the inner is for the accepting hub.
Example, the 72.6mm to 56.1mm centering rings have an outer diameter of 72.6mm to fit into the wheel center hole...
And a 56.1mm inner hole to accept to the suspension hub.

And typically, rounding IS NOT common. Find out the exact details of the wheels in question.
