Lenso bsx

Post Tue Apr 26, 2011 9:49 pm

Seriously considering buying a set of these wheels after missing out on a set pf hartge to replace the awful alpina reps i have atm.

Looking for peoples opinions of them .
i.e are they any good or are they sh*t soft wheels like the reps?

I remember someone having some 7j 15" lenso reps and he broke the centre cap easily just by fitting it.

Have you considered LM reps? 16x9j too

So the plan is to replace awful alpina reps with awful BBS reps

is this english slang... i have no idea what this means

Ah adapters easily got lol. I hate lenso's with a passion. Not a fan of reps at all, but lenso's really annoy me because they cheap looking when compared to bbs rs's. I just dont rate them

if ure not looking to spent a fortune weller racing wheels look the business on e30's

Thanks for the input guys.

Jake - I would go for it. I have a 16 " set and haven't had any problems with them - not soft, centre cap screws on and not a lug job liable to snapping. They look good IMO.

For me I just couldn't live with paying the money for genuine rims(nice as they are) I don't think you get value for money.

my advice is dont get any reps.

lensos are a decent wheel company allthough the bsx are bbs reps they are still decent quality manafacture and make a whole range. not like the companys just selling cheap reps

i had some lm reps on my audi a4 and i cracked two of them soft of shit!

Lenso rims are normally good quality (actually one of the best) so you should have any issues reliability wise. just down to personal taste.

I agreed some of the reps are very well made yes it would be lovely to get the Rs's but paying over the odds for them is something else..

I was thinking of diamond wheels

Wellers have one or two passable wheels, Down to personnel taste.

ive got lenso bsx 9j on the rear and 7.5 on the front they look cool and are pretty nice to drive on.

I had a set for few months. Laquer peeling off round fake studs is biggest problem

Post Tue Jul 12, 2011 5:38 pm

I really wanted a set of these for my 30 before it blew up

with lacquer peel etc, when you get the wheels, first thing you do i wash, polish and at least 2 coats of a good quality wax to give them protection from the start, wash them every 7-10 days along with the rest of your car and topup the wax as required to keep them protected.
