Sdf4786k Twincharged April 12, 2019 Share April 12, 2019 I was considering other aftermarket rims, but slowly loving this set of geminis. its heavy. Best to get an average good after mkt rims in the 8kg to 8.7Kg range. vs stock 13kg An oldie review. I supposed most are at the 9 to 10 year mark already. https://youtu.be/pm7SjFkP6BU?t=140 The new Octy is a looker unlike my ugly duckling :-( as I said, its only an artist impression. Just like a condo, the actual site maybe facing a cemetery or a crematory instead of a lush greenery from the artist impression. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have considered lighter, aftermarket, nicer looking ones. But I also know the benefits that stock rims bring with their weight. They are damn solid, and can take a beating, even if your tyre shreds. Have seen locally a panemera collapsed on the front wheel, because its aftermarket wheel gave way after hitting a kerb. Wah, the front axle was gone. I can understand if the axle collapses, but this one was just 1 wheel, OMG. My previous ride was on OZ Superturismos, they came in about 12kg each, but they were damn solid, lasted me like forever. I left them to scrap with my jetta at VCS, because I thought that was where they belonged. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdf4786k Twincharged April 12, 2019 Share April 12, 2019 (edited) I am actually eyeing these. They looked very familiar. Then I looked into my company product line. lol https://vossenwheels.com/wheel/lc-103/ vossen seems to have a fair amount of replica and hence many starts to rethink if they will go for vossen if they driving a Bread and butter car I work at Tuas, and the roads here are quite pot hole filled.

Pravinuss 1st Gear April 12, 2019 Share April 12, 2019 (edited) Should be real at least for the price listed! Autobacs do carry a limited selection of original rims, remember seeing rays and bbs too. Was tempted with the bbs ch-r but after seeing it in person, a little underwhelmed. Edited April 12, 2019 by Pravinuss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was tempted with the bbs ch-r but after seeing it in person, a little underwhelmed.The reason I asked is because the posted prices at autobacs for the vossen rims seemed abit too low to be true.Hence if I was told they are replicas, I wouldn't bat an eyelid. Maybe I should take as face value that the tags laid there are "prices from". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, when checking for the bbs pricing, it differed based on size, what was quoted i remember was the smallest in the range. Comparing their pricing for bbs at least, it seems to be similar to other dealers around. Not the lowest, but not far from it either.
