CH style alloys, anybody bought any?

I quite like the look of these and they seem a pretty decent fitment for the VR6, anybody run them or have info on them?

Real bbs versions are very heavy for what they are, I can only imagine what copies are like.

Weight does seem to be a problem from what I'm reading, I just want a nice set of rims!

With wheels priced that cheaply, I'd be more concerned about what happens in pot holes! They do look good though!

Strength is always the issue on reps. Agree with Kev though, they look really good. Might refurb my CH's in a dark colour....

Would they not still have to meet some kind of strength test and safety rating though or can they just be splashed out any old how ?

Yeah I've been looking for another cheap set of wheels for the winter, they look good but they'll always be 'reps' though. These are quite nice for cheap wheels. No better than the reps in quality though!!

Edit, sorry scratch that I think it's a mistake on the listing, don't think 17" are available.

If they are sourced from the far east (highly likely), they will be subject to the same safety and quality standards that their £2.99 phone chargers are. I.e. they can burn your house down!
