BBS CH Style/Replicas
« on: August 04, 2011, 05:01:56 pm »
I have been looking to refurb my Zeniths, but for only a £100 more I can get a set of BBS CH replicas, however being reps I have my concerns about quality, weight etc. Does anyone have experience with these or other replica wheels that they could bring to the table?

I have CH reps.

very impressed with them. A little heavier than the standard wheels but cant really notice the difference on the road.

Strength wise i have had no problems and there are alot of potholes near me.

Paid £400 for just the wheels and bolts

Thats good to hear, the sets I'm looking at are about the same price on ebay.  Do you mind me asking where you got yours from?

Whats ironic is you guys so far have not experienced any problems, however apart from one person all the Briskodians I've asked who have owned replica wheels have had nothing but problems.  These range from bent and buckled wheels, the requirement of adding excessive weights to balance them and the balancing needing changing after a few months to the paint falling off!  :surprised:
