BBS CH - a couple of questions!
« on: November 17, 2010, 01:00:49 pm »
I'm looking to change my Monza 2 18's and have decided on the BBS CH wheel.  I have a couple of questions...

1. Where would be the best place to find genuine wheels, without tyres?  New ideally, but second hand would be fine as I could get them refurbished easily.

2. If I went down the replica route, which ones would be the best?  I have seen some on eBay for between £300 and £400 and look great, but I wouldn't want poor quality wheels that are made from soft metal, or have poor quality paint.

Any advice would be much appreciated!!

Around £1200 without tyres. As above, waiting for a s/h set of Pescaras (which are virtually the same - no writing and different finish) to come up for sale will be a bit cheaper.
