One useful piece of advice I will give you Brian. Check with the guy what weight these rims are, preferably without tyres. The standard SVX rims we have are actually of a very high quality. They are lighter and stronger than the vast majority of aftermarket rims.

If these BBS rims are heavier, they will change the unsprung weight for the worse, and you will notice a difference [degradation] in handling and braking.

Wise advice Joe, it should be headed by many. The OEM alloy wheels, (rims and all!) are very hard to better and they are especially easy to clean. An objective view on how they are defective, would make interesting reading.

Compliments of the season Joe, Trevor.
