THE LATEST SET OF 4 19" BBS CH STYLE ALLOY WHEELS

Style being the key word here..
So they are real, but fake..

The fact it says ch style in the description tells me they are reps.

Good money though, hard to believe how cheap some wheels have become

You can tell by the shape of the spokes, the real ones are more curved.

Yeah an the real one are made of chocolate, soft as poo! I think they went through a dodgy batch when they first come out. My uncle has a set of 19's on his Mk5 Gti and was one of the first in 05 to get them when they came out. He's had to replace two of them as they was really soft and had bent.

I must of been having a bad day, I didn't even notice the "style" bit.

Not that I was planning to buy any, just curious as I know how much "real" BBS cost!

you are right - the OE VAG ones are different to the aftermarket ones which carry the "motorsport" inscription around the bolt holes - softer and heavier! they flat spot really easily from what I've heard. Aftermarket ones are higher quality.

Steve my genuine 012s were less than that

Did someone mention bent BBS CHs.



I've erased from my memory the price I had to pay to replace it, just one year after I bought it new.

On the plus side it will make a nice coffee table.

You can get real BBS's cheap if your lucky. i got Gen 17" RKs brand new in boxes really cheap! it was a wheels store closing down and they were ex-display on a no reserve auction.
