BGM PRO stainless steel rim - Made in Germany for classic Vespa

The highest production quality, visible and tangible: the BGM PRO stainless steel rim is manufactured in Germany by a certified producer. Instead of deep drawing, it is "pressed" rotationally symmetrically - this ensures excellent concentricity, absolute freedom from rust and a reinforced rim flange. Built for maximum durability and a permanently elegant look.

Advantages at a glance

Rust-free and easy to clean - stainless steel (also polished) for a permanently beautiful surface

S table and precise - perfect concentricity thanks to pressed, rotationally symmetrical production

Reinforced rim flange - folded edge doubles the material on the flange

S ustainable - no welded stud bolts, replaceable special stainless steel nuts included

Durable in tough use - proven on long distances and rough surfaces

Manufacture

Each rim is individually formed using a spinning process. This gentle, high-precision forming process shapes the sheet metal without stress cracks and ensures uniform wall thicknesses. This results in stability and dimensional accuracy at workshop and test bench level.

Concentricity and durability

The combination of manufacturing principle and reinforced rim flange delivers excellent concentricity - even under continuous load. The folded edge thickens the edge of the flange and increases resistance to impacts, kerb contact and stresses during tire fitting. This makes the rim virtually indestructible, as Martin "sticky" Round impressively demonstrated in a scooter race (the Nomad Rally, a kind of Rally Dakar) through the Moroccan desert in 2017.

Sustainable construction

Instead of welded stud bolts, the rim uses bolted stainless steel special nuts with a square profile. These engage positively in the rim and prevent twisting - individual studs can be replaced at any time. This makes the rim service-friendly and future-proof.

Confirmed in practice: Martin 'sticky' Round was not the only one to subject the rims to an absolutely tough load test. Our friend Ilario Lavarra is also using BGM tires in combination with BGM stainless steel rims on his round-the-world trip. The combination shows stable handling even when heavily loaded and on bad roads. You can find the report in the Scooter Center blog and also below in his video.
Technical note: Tightening torque for rim nuts: 21 Nm. Available in natural or polished stainless steel. For classic 10-inch Vespa with 5-hole mounting.

FAQ - frequently asked questions about the BGM PRO stainless steel rim

Yes, the rim is made of high-quality stainless steel and will remain permanently rust-free if cared for correctly - even when used all year round.
The folded rim doubles the material thickness of the flange. This increases impact resistance and makes it easier to fit tires without damaging the material.
All classic Vespa, Motovespa, LML Star/Stella, Bajaj models with 10-inch tires and 5-hole mounting (e.g. Smallframe V50, 50N, Special, PV, ET3, PK50-125 (S/XL/XL2), Largeframe PX, T5, Sprint, Rally, GT/GTR, LML Star, Deluxe).
In the classic two-piece design, the wheels are usually operated with a tube (TT) - as with many original rims. Please observe tire approvals.

Note: Only use mild cleaning agents and soft cloths for polished surfaces.
