Morning,
Can't help feeling that Merc Reps would look good on my Steel Grey Golf but reps are much cheaper.
So has anyone got any experience with the wheels from these guys.........Good and/or Bad?

Personally I think they look chavvy but that's just me.
As with any wheels, reps will suffer from cracks, buckles and dents more than the factory/genuine alloy - This is not to say it'll break the minute you take it on a bumpy road but it's something to be aware of.
Also the finish will be sh*te so needs waxing several times with a durable wheel wax, ideally a ceramic coating, or after a single winter it'll be laquer peel central.

I know what you mean but BBS wheels seem to be on every other Golf. I really like TD Pro Race 1.2's except for the writing around the edge of the rim. I know the 1.3 version doesn't have the writing but they are not as lightweight as the 1.2's...........That lead me to start looking around at other stuff!
Do you have experience of reps? or is your opinion formed on others experiences?

I've just been looking at Porsche wheels and alot of the nice ones have 10" rear wheels.........Is it possible to fit 10" wheels on the back of a Golf?
