Most liked posts in thread: 17" Anthracite R90 Corrosion under clear coat

This is a common issue with the R90. You can have them refinished professionally, or for just slightly more you can get 4 brand new ones.

There is no quick fix.

 

Remember the OEM R90's are made by BBS and they are true 2 piece wheels.
To to the job right you have to disassemble them (outer hoop from center) and correct each piece and reassemble the rims and torque all those bolts to spec going around the rim.

Side note:
I used to have the eBay knock offs of the MINI R90 and they were one piece sealed in clear coat wheels and they lasted and held up better then the OEM R90's and all (4) only cost $425 delivered to my door.

Much better deal, and you could not tell the difference between the knock off's and OEM when they were on the car unless you really knew what to look for. :ihih:

 

Where are you located?

 

So how did the Aluminum BBS R90 rim rust? :idea:

I think you have bad hard water spots under the clear coat.
They need to be taken apart, polished and sprayed and re assembled if you are going to do it right the first time.

$150 a wheel is a good deal because it is a lot of work.

 

You can have them dipped to remove all the finish and then powder coated for about $65 a wheel.
