What do you guys go for replica wheels or genuine wheels??
-
Genuine.
-
Genuine.
-
Genuine, but can I ask what wheels you're looking at getting?
-
^ As above.
-
Genuine :happy2:
-
Genuine heard lots of bad reviews on non genuine
-
depends on the wheel.
Also on your circumstances. bit of a vague question really, like asking if someone would prefer a 2 bed house or a 6 bed mansion.
I have some BBS CH reps, and they are as good for what I need them for as genuine ones, but only cost me £380
Ive had 3 sets previously as well and loved each set.
However if you are referring to fake splits or some other wheels then the comparison may be very different. and flaws easily spotted.
-
Genuine, but some REPS are not bad for the money.
-
Id like some bbs ch 18's but if you get them as genuine plus tires Your talking over a grand then getting them shipped to jersey, downside to living on an island
But I do like the Audi A7's that were posted on another thread, but would have to go reps on them as only come in 20's
-
some reps are a load of crap so choose wisely where you get them from. i bought my 18" ch reps local so if they suffer catastrophic flaws i can return them.
genuines are always going to be stronger and better quality but that comes at a price!
-
As some have said it's down to circumstances. I have always had reps. Had a set of rs4's the Ttrs rotors that are on the car at the moment and now my new set which are getting fitted today.
At the end of the day it's your preference, all I will say is everyday Joe blogs won't tell the difference, aLao with the money you saved you can take the missus on a night out (including buying her a nice dress, bag and shoes) to apologize for wasting that money on something daft! (other things may happen at the end of the night too) :happy2:
-
Save for genuine!
-
Nah Reps are fine ... Keep em on 2 years and sell them buy another new set. Most people cant tel by looking from the outside anyway. had loads of them never had any problems, If you hit a 6" deep pothole with any wheel it's going to bend.. Set of 4 18" BBS CH for £400 cheap as chips :laugh:
-
I find my problem is, if I know there are fakes out there if I see a car even with genuine half the time I just think ah probably fake haha.
It's like everything you hear horror story's but you do also for rota's and I've had 3 sets of them even if I did cave the lip in on the first set.
They are what they are.
-
As above... I have no doubt they'll be fine.. I just don't understand when people buy reps and then put genuine caps on? :stupid:
-
Cheers chaps
Not quite ready for wheels yet got a couple of things on the list to do first,
but nice to see other peoples advice :happy2:
-
If you like BBS CH's then check out the BBS VZ, I'm sure there is some for sale on here from a supplier
Very similar look but much cheaper :happy2:

This. Went from genuine CH's to the VZ, the VZ look much better and handle much better with the wider offset. There around £650 new, so half the price of CH's!
-
Sounds like a good plan :driver:
-
thier is some very good reps out on the market now a days but i wanted gen ones for mine and they came up at a fantastic price
