Title: Edition 30 replica wheels
Post by: marcnazer on April 15, 2013, 04:23:35 pm

Im considering changing from my Monzas to the Edition 30 wheels in the near future...
It seems originals are top dollar so does anyone know of anyone making a decent set of replicas for cheaper?

Hmmm very interesting!

A genuine set of BBS is always going to be my preferred choice, I just didnt know you could get them at this price!

Though the problem lays in those being a wider wheel, I ideally would like to take the tyres off my monzas and put them on those but thats not going to work with wider wheels

what size are the tires on your monzas? 225/40/18? that would fit on the 8j

ive had 225/40/18 fitted on 9.5j rims  :happy2:

Yeah they are 225/40/18.....

How does that work then?! I dont understand how you can get a thinner tyre on a wider rim, surely it would want to pop off the rim all the time?!
