Steve is right. These pics show Pescaras, not VZ033.  :wink:

Didn't know that PW Motorsport posted on here.

I rang them a couple of months back when I fancied some anthracite BBS wheels that they were advertising on ebay.

After a vague two minute phone call and noticing the phone info didn't really tally with their ebay items, I was told 'they're busy' can you ring back, as the phone got put down on me, I obviously never called back.

He might have been having a bad day, but it definitely worked well as "sales prevention".
Not slagging anyone off, just saying what happened. It was enough for me to go elsewhere.

Perhaps the pictures are for illustration only?  I pressume the Pescara's are made by BBS, do they carry a model number?

Also, what is the difference between the BBS CH and BBS VZ - visually they are very similar, but price wise there seems to be a huge difference......

EDIT: Found these on the bay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BBS-CH-ALLOY-WHEELS-18INCH-Genuine-set-VW-SEAT-AUDI-/280719826182?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item415c349d06 - correct me if I'm wrong, but they look like VZ's, not CH's as advertised?

There are some similar designs made by BBS:


- original BBS CH (MOTORSPORT): different sizes and bolt patterns (VAG 8x18 ET50)
- new BBS CH-R: dito
- cheaper BBS CO: without 'Motorsport'

VAG 5x112 only:

- BBS VZ033 (Votex/driver gear):   8x18 ET44
- VW Pescara/Rockingham (ED30):  7.5x18 ET51
- Audi A3 S-Line '14-spoke-design':  7.5x18 ET54
- Audi A4/A6 S-Line '14-spoke-design':  8x18 ET43


So the Ebay items seem to be the Audi A4 (8E)/ A6 (4F) ones or the offset is ET44
and they are VZ033. In no way they are original BBS CH.

Not a great start, all 4 to be returned due to a poor paint finish, fish eyes all over the wheels  :sad1:

I'd like to say that it was because I'd have the titanium ones fitted now if it was the case. To cut a long story short, BBS aren't able to produce the wheels in that colour without any defects i.e. fish eyes etc which is a really shame.
