How strong are BBS wheels
« on: July 22, 2014, 10:20:47 pm »
So fitted my brand new VZ's on sat & went out for a drive earlier on today. Found one of the most challenging & best driving roads I've ever driven on today and it's only 30 mins away from my house.... :driver:

Anyways cut a long story short was driving quite spirited and the left side of my car went off-road with some small rocks / pebbles and the car got very shook up.

What's the chances of this causing any buckles in the wheels? The car still aligns straight and there's no marks on the wheels

Bbs alloys wheel are up there with the very best, if not the best so I'd think they would be very strong. I've had no experience with after market bbs alloys but I wouldn't be worried. Saying that if I payed big money I think I'd be worried to.

I agree. The ditch wasn't brutal but it did give me a heavy pants moment...

Wheel will almost certainly be fine, might want to take it off and check the tyre though.

My CH Motorsports have taken a few beatings on the shoddy country roads around me, still 100% straight and true, I think they're about as good as any really.

Youd know if it was buckled as it would vibrate through the steering wheel. If you want to put your mind at rest, take it to a tyre fitter and have them spin up the wheel on the balancing machine

Got a motorway journey today but I'm fairly confident they're ok...
