I'm sure no one out there shares my views, but I have a real problem with reps!
Buy either secondhand BBS before buying reps. If you can't afford them, dont buy them.
I appreciate your opinion! but why not buy what you want?
copying is done in everything think about the clothes that people buy on the high street, its often copying the designer and catwalks etc
Another point is i would never be able to justify the 2800ish k for a real set of bbs lm's thats over a quarter of the value car on a set of wheels and its only a daily drive....
and if your view is that people who buy them are robbing bbs well i doubt it... because how much can them wheels really cost them to have such a high price tag
BUT i would rather buy 2nd real one's for the money!
Have a look at genuine Audi wheels too, as long as you keep the ET over 42ish mm there are loads of styles to choose from and there are some lovely BBS made Calittos on Ebay at the moment.
Just steer away from the really big Audis' rims at their offets are about 35mm which is not good for Golf mk5s.
Cheers am going to keep searching ebay
