That is what I wanted to do.. There is no way I am spending £500 on refurbish wheels when I can get some new ones for circa £300!!

I'm amazed you've been quoted so much for a refurb. I recently got some BBS split rims refurbed for my dad, fully stripped and rebuilt and it still didn't cost £125 a wheel.

In relation to the BBS you're considering, I'd still be cautious about their legitimacy for £300, unless of course they need a significant refurb in which case you'd be back to square one.

They have got all of the prints on them to show they are legit, they have been refurbed as they had a crack in one. All fixed up now though and fresh to go!

Nothing seems to be moving much on ebay at the moment though, all wheels are going for not a lot of money - these have been on twice!! I am watching a brand new set of BBS VZ's at the moment, they are only on £165 for 4..  :laugh:

Thank you for the offer mate, but I have arranged to have them all done in shadow chrome now. Something different :-)

Better pics tomorrow once I have fitted them!! :-)
They are not perfect as the old ones where quite badly corroded underneath and my mate is just an amateur painter, I still think they are awesome!
Will look amazing when they are on!!  :grin: :evil:
