Title: BBS CH - a couple of questions!
Post by: York_GTI on November 17, 2010, 01:00:49 pm

I'm looking to change my Monza 2 18's and have decided on the BBS CH wheel.  I have a couple of questions...

1. Where would be the best place to find genuine wheels, without tyres?  New ideally, but second hand would be fine as I could get them refurbished easily.

2. If I went down the replica route, which ones would be the best?  I have seen some on eBay for between £300 and £400 and look great, but I wouldn't want poor quality wheels that are made from soft metal, or have poor quality paint.

Any advice would be much appreciated!!

I don't like the Monza alloys either mate & i found my self a set of Genuine Edition 30 rims,basically the VW version of the CH & there made by BBS.

Around £1200 without tyres. As above, waiting for a s/h set of Pescaras (which are virtually the same - no writing and different finish) to come up for sale will be a bit cheaper.
