Title: Where to buy BBS wheels?
Post by: GTI8v on February 06, 2016, 04:39:12 pm

Struggling to find anywhere that stocks BBS wheels at the moment.
Tried Revolution in Gateshead but they didn't have any in stock, not much about secondhand either really.
Google doesn't bring much up...
Any ideas? Would prefer VZ but Ch are rather nice as well  :happy2:

I bought mine from Revolution.  They were sent from Rimstyle  I think they are the importers.
 Always ask if the price quoted is the best price :smiley:

Rimstyle is a good bet. There are also some official dealers on German eBay that will ship to the uk and actually works out a bit cheaper.

I'd recommend Performancealloys.com - supplied me with a set of Oz's and then a spare when I bent one on my old mkiv. See they do BBS too - good service and delivery both times I used them.

Thanks all, was ideally wanting to go and have a look to make sure the colour's right (touch and stroke them etc) as boys do with anything new  :signLOL:
Will have a look on those websites suggested..

I think prestige wheels in Bham do them as well.

DON'T buy BBS wheels without speaking to Rimstyle for a price , ask for Toby and say Danny with the golf R sent you / he can do some knockout deals

I bought my bbs vz from Germany even though it was 10 years ago I would certainly do it again the Germans are always a pleasure to deal with
Plus I got a great deal getting the new wheels and kuhmo tyres delivered for £600

I'd have a look at German eBay.

Not sure I'm brave enough to use German Ebay.
I consider myself brave ordering of the internet, even then I prefer click and collect.
I like being able to hand over cash / card and walking out with goods.
The stress of something getting lost /stolen / being ordered wrong plays with me....
I think in this case I'm going to have to use rimstyle or similar, but still prefer the old fashioned way.  :ashamed:
