Personally I wouldn't touch cheap knock-off wheels from eBay, you get what you pay for!

With Enkeis starting at around $900, why would people buy Chinese made rims...

Ask any tyre fitter and I'm sure they'll have stories to tell about Chinese rims. I've seen one shatter from a pot hole.

Safety first ! Just like tyres, I try to get reputable quality I know will look after you & your car, wheels are in the same category.

And if they kill you, you'll have saved even more - no more payments ever.

At first I didnt realise they are knock off's really! i was even surprise by the price as I know BBS are very expensive. I have seen them in real life here and they look quite ok...BUT you can tell they are not the real deal unless you dig the cheap looking wheels and you dont know.

Also, I tohught that people might've tried them already! I would probably go for Rota's mXr but open to suggestions of manufacturers that makes wheels in the BBS style with polished lip.
