Rear rims / whells
intend to replace rear wheels on my KMS 427 as I noticed that handbrake mechanics damaged the inner rim surface - probably small stones got inbetween handbrake assembley and rim (now corrected cause as good as possible via grinding away "contact surfaces of handbrake assembley) - Forgot to take pictures........sorry
So the questions is: Anyone aware which wheel producer provides rims to KMS for 427 S/C so that I can get exactly same wheels? I shall not forget to state: In all the years of ownership that was the only tiny hick-up I had as far it concerns my KMS - Love the car and the build quality! If any hick-upīs with the car (and even those where / are almost negelectable): All of them related non Kirkham but more or less simple engine / clutch issues...... I shall appreciate your support Carsten |
No....but BBS makes a Center section that works for the KMS Hub and then you can get any size wheel you want......
We use the 18” BBS wheels on KMP259 |
Thanks for the feed-back Morris!
I belong to the group of happy ignorants sticking to 15 dimension.....so I need to hope for further advice from that section..... |
The tolerances are tight, so I'd say all it takes is a bump in the road to damage the inner wheel surface. Same thing happened to mine.
Trigo wheels are the replacement for KMS. |
Nc427,
Am I reading that right? You want to replace the wheels due to a tiny pebble scratching the inside of the rim?! Those tolerances are super tight. It WILL happen again. The only time I see my grooves are when the wheels are off. |
Granted input is helpful - thanks a lot!
Yep, tolerances are very tight.........as indicated i grinded a certain portion of the handbrake assembly down -> works technically just fine since 4 years -> still I had something stuck between handbrake assembly and wheel stuck (probably a small stone) and the scratches on the inner side of then wheel are deeper than I like them to be Yep, everything is technically still fine since four years but I want do something good to my KMS 😀 So I understand Trigo are the ones I need to go for.........shall check Thanks again to all contributors |
