V8 Wheels

[Theron J. Bliss]

I have a set of "cheap" BBS wheels.  13" from VW.  I have four sets of BBS, and
there
are definitely cheap ones, and nice ones.  I will agree however that all wheels
can be
good or bad.  I know for a fact that the 2-piece BBS that came on the 1991+ 16v
GTI is
notorious for bending.  I've gone through several of them.  I also have had many

alloys that I've had on my Scirocco that I've jumped tons of times, and never
had them
lose round.  Don't get me wrong, I love BBS wheels.  There are nice ones, and
crap
ones.
