Title: Value of staggered BBS CH reps?
Post by: gtgeorge on November 06, 2014, 04:19:08 am

I won't go into detail as this is not a for sale thread, all i say is they are on my MK5 golf, staggered fit and immaculate with immaculate matching tyres wheels not even a year old still got the colour strips in the tyres.

Im looking at changing them for BBS RS reps in matt black also staggered, I have a grey GT sport and just changed the headlights to the black ones, tinted rear lights, tinted windows so it now just looks odd sat on silver rims, also wanted darker wheels for the winter as i hate the look of sh*tted up silver rims and i dont wash cars in the winter, if so its once a month as its pointless with the salt.

Just wondering if i take a punt on the RS's they are £649 delivered to my door with tyres fitted, free wheel nuts and bolts (that i dont need) just wondering how much I can get for my CH's so its not such a big chunk of money going out in one hit.



Thanks

I would imagine the wheels alone are worth between £275 and £325 since new ones are between £400 and £450. It depends on what Tyres are on them? If they're super sports then that's another £200 or so but if they're Nankang then it's not much more maybe £100. I have assumed they are 18"?

Yeah they are 18s. Ive been looking at the all matt black RS's as that chrome always goes manky come winter.
