they didn't have spigot rings with them, asked the seller and he didn't know what they were and he defo didn't have any, gave it they're not in the listing blah blah blah.
 I know he should've supplied them with the wheels but decided to source them myself so I can get them fitted quicker, you know how these things can drag out on ebay
have a set ordered from PW motorsport, hoping they come tomorrow, will get picks up of them on the car tomorrow all going well

yes i much prefer the black badges too although the red ones are pretty rare and they do have a BBS part number on the back of them so are genuine but probably not made for CHs

AH OK, What did philip charge for the spiggots ?, and i believe the Red badges are a japanese market only badge, but are a genuine BBS item

ps, so i assume you think the alloys are kosha ?

think it's about £34 for the spigot rings inc. postage

yes i'm certain they are genuine BBS
don't think any of the reps come in ET50 or have BBS and the part number stamped on them

had a set of CHs on my MK4 and i'm pretty sure they had the same markings on the inside
don't know the traders story but i think he must have got a few sets of unfinished wheels from somewhere because i don't think anybody would strip back silver wheels to paint them black and sell them for less than what silver ones should go for

here's another couple of pics for any doubters

they do look good, im not doubting the seller, its just odd he can sell 18" ch's for over £200 less than anyone else, and also repaint them (probably £200 for repsray too)

The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel.

Brian g did you go for the wheels from Amair 786 ? For some reason my computer does nt display most of the photos posted on this forum.  Anyhow  I am contemplating replacing my 18 " factory alloys for the black/red bbs  alloys and if spiggot rings are  required  what size or spec do I ask for ?
