Like the wheels very much but it is the centre that puts me off them.

 

You will have to tell us what the finish is like and send in a phootie when they are on the car :D

I personally like those wheels as well, one reason that I'm leaving mine on for the time being (silver ones):

 

Only downside is that too many other Rados have them :lol: Oh well, might have sorted that problem: Swapping alloys with a German mate of mine, he's never seen the BK299s in Germany, I've never seen his Dezent 16" alloys in the UK, sorted ! :D

Oh, forgot to mention: The finish on these alloys seems a wee bit flakey (compared to other brands). I've had them on for 13 months, and the chromy bits around the outer ring are starting to flake off :shock: Then again, they're not badly priced for 17" alloys, you get what you pay for, I guess ...

Yeah there are too many around, but that's because they are a very good wheel. My wife's car has them - yes alright I know it needs lowering (haven't got round to it yet).

I agree,they look the part but it doesn't handle or feel good on the road with 17",the stock 15"speedlines are fantastic wheels if a bit dull ....everybody to there own I suppose :roll:

I always had that sneaky suspicion comparing my G60 to my mates over in Germany, OK, he's done a lot to it, but still ...

 

Does anyone know how much one of the BK299s weighs in Kg (sorry not being British I can't handle Stones or whatever :lol: )? Possibly worthwhile comparing that to some weights of 16" wheels, which I'm more and more starting to look at, planning on going Euro-look, i.e. deeeeep dish :D

I’ve also experienced this with BK alloys, not good :cry:
