LM Reps
« on: August 16, 2009, 06:06:57 pm »
I'm aware a lot of the BBS reps will be made out of cheaper metal and will be heavier than the real mccoys.

Was keen to find out if anyone had experience with this seller before? Their ebay feedbacks' not great, but at that price, I was mildly interest and thought I'd get your opinions first.

The main problem is I don't have a massive budget for the wheels themselves, partly due to tyre costs. I'm never going budget after a couple of learning curves, quite literally  :wink:
Pointers appreciated.

Ta,
Pete.

He says they weigh about 10kg. Is that light for a wheel?

I'd say that 10kg is a bit ambitious for LM reps at 18" Unless they are made of compressed bottle tops! :confused:

Team Dynamics are 9kg in that size and are popular because the are very light for the size.

You pay for what you get, hence why I've never put replica whhels on any of my cars.

375 is bloody cheap and the quality will reflect this

Most reps come in at around 12 to 15kg = 26 to 33lb

Even original Monza 2's with their hollow construction still weigh around 28lb.
