Anyone bought a set of these whels from ebay...whats the quality like?

Thanks

 

[frannyb]

bet they will look good. im going to have to start saveing for some new wheels sick of the star fish alloys now

 

[scotty86d]

Great wheels imo!

Only worry for me about replicas is them buckling easily with hitting pot holes etc. What we all pay our 200+ road tax for

 

[mwillis551]

my mate had same ones on his golf and he hit something on motorway and now, there is a big bent and buckle in them :|

Wouldn't trust replicas myself, you don't know what they're made of... They're cheap for a reason, surely..

 

[blueleon]

from what I've been told replica's are made in the same factorys but at weekends (cash in hand sort of thing) I may of been fed a load of rubbish though, by the way I have replicas on my car and so far so good I'm really pleased with them.

not taking anything away from BBS cause we all know there quality, but sometimes I think your buying into a brand through its reputation but that doesn't necessarily mean that the replicas wont end up being as good as the real deal but for a 1/3 of the price.

I have had all these thoughts but have a set ariving tomorow so will see.

Others on here seem to think they're good but depends i guess.

Fingers crossed. I ordered tapered bolts but not so sure they are looking at the picture.

Probably just a stock photo used for the auction mate, I expect you get what you asked for

 

[sambryant]

mine still look new after 2 years and hitting plenty of potholes

 

[Exe_LeonCR]

M20FES i meant the wheels didn't look they took tapered but think they will be fine.

Thanks Sam for your help with all my questions.

Will put pics up when fitted

 

[cooky25]

Usually aftermarket wheels are tapered.

You may even get wheel bolts with the wheels along with spigot rings, as i came across when my rotiform reps arrived earlier

 

[sambryant]

bbs reps are tapered.

Will do mate. They should be here in next hour and have them on tomorrow morning once i swap the tyres.

 

[Exe_LeonCR]

All fitted and so happy with them i washed the car and popped out for a few photos. replaced the Cupra R side badges for good measure.

What do you think?

Thanks for looking!!

 

[Degsy]
