Title: What Wheels are these and how much are they worth?
Post by: irish_ram on April 13, 2015, 02:39:47 pm
Anyone know what wheels these are what they are likely worth as wanting to get some pescara or monza alloys for my ED30

From a distance they look like BBS CH alloys - although whether they are genuine or eBay specials would require a closer inspection. If genuine £800+ if not much less!

A lot of reps knocking around in the colour combo, but you need to look closer to find out if genuine.

I have genuine 18" monzas if your interested in a swap :happy2:

Nice one, i can take a look tonight. Is there any particular badge or marking I should be looking for to confirm they are genuine. And if reps i take is i would be looking at more £2-300

if you click on the picture of my car in my signature it will load photobucket and there are a few pics there if you're interested further I can whatsapp some pics of each wheel and tyre over.

Nice smart wheels with good tread all round

They should be stamped bbs on the rear off the alloy have to take them off.

Also dont put monzas on a ed30, will look like a cheap replica.

Cheers,

You may be right, would ideally want the pescara as they make the ED30 look nice. I am sure there are other wheels but hard to find pics of Red Golfs with wheels on as most seem to have the pescaras or Monzas

found this to help determine if real or not:

seems like they more than likely are reps according to the above link

From what I can see they look in mint condition. I will have to see what mine turn out to be and also probably looking for a Black Alloy as opposed the standard but will let you know  :happy2:

Right so got one wheel off and took some pics of the stampings inside. Does not really tell me either way if genuine or fake but there was no BBS stamp so presuming fake.

Anyone else confirm from these pics

They are copies as the et is blank and the centre cap isn't right..Seen soon really good ones and the only way you can tell is the centre cap is 2mm bigger

So now I know they are reps, anyone any idea what I could get or them. The tyres have good thread and apart from a couple of kerb marks the wheels are in good condition

Anyone on this in terms of price. I am thinking £350-400 but not really got a clue to be honest
