BBS CH Reps - Any disadvantages?
« on: June 17, 2012, 07:32:45 pm »

I'm thinking of buying some black BBS CH Reps. Are there any major disadvantages? Does anyone know who heavy they are, and how heavy the real ones are?

Thanks,

Ian  :happy2:

heavier, Potentially not as well made meaning possibly more prone to cracks/buckling.

Millions use them though and its not a well known thing they always break.

I know you get what you pay for, but as I'm about to spend a lot with JKM, I didn't want to spend more than a grand on wheels and tyres, and I'd never skimp on tyres, which will be 500 for Goodyear F1 or Pirelli P Zero Rosso.

I'd get the real ones, but that's gonna add another 700. Awesome do a package for 4 x BBS CH 18's and the Pirelli tyres for 1750. Trouble is, I want it done now, as it looks like a Dinky toy with the 17's on  :grin:

He described them as mint only 2marks on the alloys.   I told him how fussy I am etc and I didn't want a wasted trip etc..... Got told they are mint and if he touched up painted the marks  they would be classed as immaculate....... Anyway 11-12-13 marks later I decided to call it a day ... And advised him to alter his advert.    Which he did.  And sold on soon after.      My mint and his mint are slightly diff.      Enjoyed the blast on the A1 tho.... :sad1:

I now stay clear of reps. Lots of disadvantages. Heavy, buckle easily and I have even saw one that shattered from hitting a pothole.. :surprised: Buy OEM, you won't regret it.. :wink:
