Tyre fitting BBS Sepangs

[dbonnett]

I have just acquired an XK8 fitted with 20" BBS Sepangs. The tyres will soon need to be replaced. Are there any issues I should be aware of when sourcing new tyres and particularly are there any problems to be encountered with these types of split rim wheels with run of the mill tyre fitters?

There aren't any unusual problems associated with fitting new tyres to the BBS split rims. The issues come when you need the wheels refurbishing. The titanium bolts often corrode in situ and can making the task lengthy and quite expensive. Mike.
