What are yor thoughts on??
« on: 01 March 2009, 22:05 »
I really want some BBS CH but i carnt justify spending nearly what i paid for the car on wheels. I know you get what you pay for and BBS are the best. But ive been locking for replicas. The only ones i can find come in 5x112, therefore im gunna need to use adapters. What are your opinions on these? Also what size should i get for the wheels to look right? These are the riplicas ive found. What do you guys think?

Adapters are going to cost you £150-£200 for a set plus I think the smallest you can get is 20mm so that would take the offset down to 18 which would poke out to much.
Your be better off buying some suited to the car or saving up and getting the ones you want :afro:

I think you can get them in ET 50, so down to 30 wouldn't be too bad.

I think reps are the only way out if you want the CH's on a budget. :(
