Bit of help please
« on: November 25, 2009, 05:26:14 pm »
As some of you know, i am off to pick up my edition 30 next week. I have just been reading a post about BBS CH alloy wheels and am no longer certain the car i am looking at has genuine bbs wheels as advertised or if they are reps.
This is the advert, if you save the photo of the close up of the wheel to your computer you can see it full size.
Hopefully someone can tell if they are genuine or copies  :confused:

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Hi, Kevin.

Not sure if you're asking this but they are not the wheels that an Ed30 is supplied with. I don't know if those are genuine BBS, but they're quite similar in appearance to the OEM alloys so I wonder why the vendor changed them??

So am i safe to assume that there are no 19" BBS CH replicas on the go at the moment ?
Hopefully they are the real deal  :happy2:

If you give Phil a shout here      sales@pwmotorsport.com  or send him a PM he will probably be able to tell you if they are or not.
Eveen if they do turn out to be reps dont panic just get the deal almost complete then tell him you have spotted they are reps and you would like some more money off the deal to compensate.

You could probably sell them as reps and still get enough back to by some VZ's  :happy2:

If they are genuine and he originally bought them he should have the original receipts and BBS guarantee with them.  :smiley:
