Title: Ally Wheels from ebay?
Post by: Padraig on July 27, 2012, 08:20:33 pm

Hey Guys, What do ye think of these wheels at that price?

I emailed him to ask were they genuine BBS and for photos of the stamps on the inside,

Genuine he said, and he is supposed to email me the photos,

Just wondering would they be a good buy, or am i taking a chance.

also, is the polished finish the standard finish for those Monza.

Thanks guys,

they are sometimes available cheaper on here, but perhaps not having had diamond cut faces.

i'd want to see them in the flesh first personally.  i'd want to  be sure that the diamond cut had been done by a person who knows what they're doing as it's not an easy thing to get right

Thanks for the links,

The shadow wheels look perfect, but I'm thinking they might be 17",

Just think i might be kinda slow to buy from photos,

He sent me photos of the BBS and VW stamps on the inside of the wheels,

What do you guys think?

Thanks again,
