A revised version of the BBS Challenge wheel to be launched early next year. Will be available in a 20" for the B7 RS4, colours to be silver and the black edition as shown.
Let me know your thoughts.

i like alot :jumping:
-
Very nice, I like those alot! :happy2:
-
Mmmm....
Will they be doing them in 18" with a MKV friendly offset?
-
:drool:
-
Sorry, this is available in 20 "
I would expect the offsett to be available for the MK6, Scirroco etc.
-
Well, depending on weight, I might have to see what the slush fund is looking like for next year... as if they're in a correct offset then I can just keep them for the next car too.
-
wow, there awesome :drool: :drool: i want some
-
i want :jumpmove:
-
sooooo nice. how do BBS make the same design look so good and so different
-
....
1 - I like BBS wheel designs more than any other.
2 - I like a polished or bright rim on black wheels.
3 - I don't like any black wheels unless they have a contrasting rim against the tyre.
4 - I think that the maximum size which suits the GTI/Ed30 is 19".
IF I was changing from the GTI-iconic Monza's (which I wouldn't! I've just had my Monza 18's powdercoated Smoked Chrome), these are definitely the ones I would buy.

£?
-
wow...phil, i like them A LOT!!q
-
I think this new design is a lot better, and i liked the last one, are you going to hit us with some prices then before the yen is worth more than the pound. :rolleye:
-
I would expect them to be similar money to the current BBS CH.
The Euro exchange rate will not help at the moment.
The RRP for the CH Black Edition 18" is 380 euros plus VAT (@ 1.4 euro/pound) UK RRP £271 plus VAT. The current exchange rate is 1.1 euro/pound current so they should cost £345 plus VAT.
-
That works out roughly £2k for wheels and decent tyre....hmmmm!

....That's more or less the same as a new set of Monza 18's with decent tyres - So, these new BBS aren't extortionate imo.
-
I was thinking about some 18" Work CR-KAI in Matt Gunmetal, but I'm going to wait for these boys now :happy2:
-
They are very very nice :happy2: :jumpmove:
-
Love'em. :driver:
-
They look nice, although not a great deal different I like them.
Has to be 19's though for the GTI :happy2:

....
Don't let 'Nathan The Rim King' see these : -

The price for alloy is lower that its been for a v long time, problme is that the exchange rate has more than made up for any difference in price. We have been taking a big loss in profit for the past few months due to the £/$ rate, this drop in alloy cost will not be passed on as it will make up the increase from the exchange rate. All these intrest rate cuts are killing the import's.......... Darling is not helping the majority of businesses!! :mad:
-
Dont get me started.
We used to get £800/tonne of Ali scrap, now we have to pay to get it taken away. were all up sh it creek without a paddle at the moment.
This hasn't had an knock on effect with buying it in due to the energy/refining prices being so sky high. Tooling prices are up as well as are anodising costs.
Lets invade europe so we can have all the energy and aluminium mines............ ohh wait that would make us Russian
Rant over

^^^^
It's not just aluminium - Recycling all sorts of materials is getting reduced, even stopped, just because of costs. It's meant to be all about improving the environment and encouraging less waste of materials! :fighting:
