16" RC's........somewhere.........anywhere!?

[keystarG60 0]

Hi chaps!! Desperately want to source some new BBS 16" RC's only to be told "na, they don't make any more son" by MSW/BBS Direct.

 

Hoping there is still a way.

 

Any ideas?

 

Has anyone seen any remaining stock of these?

 

Long shot i know.

 

Cheers.

I rang 3 different topgear branches last week and they all said the same thing....RCs available and delivered in 7 to 21 days. That was 17" though, which look a lot better than the 16s imo.

Hey starkos those 2nd hand ones Bally posted look alright - what ya reckon ??

[keystarG60 0]

Yeah 17"'s are still around, but sadly 16"'s are no longer produced.

 

17"s are cool an dat but personally i prefer the understated look of the 16"

 

Plus im a little concerned about ride comfort.

 

Thanks Bally, will look into it.

i might have sourced some from germany for £40 not sure yet he sent me the wrong ones but he sent genuine bbs caps so thats a start. took the rc's to pristine they wanted 120 each for the bbs power silver finish!! so i got regular bright silver for 50 quid!
