lol good thinking!! i think thats given me an idea

[Onz]

Cool!

does it spin and have an M20 bolted to it for auto hose reeling

[Ziggy]

That'll pull your wall (fence?) down!

Should have gone for 15" BBS - you'd have noticed the difference in unsprung weight for sure.

Cool!

does it spin and have an M20 bolted to it for auto hose reeling

If it spun, the hose wouldnt be on straight

[Ziggy]

If it spun, the hose wouldnt be on straight

Depends on whether it's got a spigot ring fitted or not.

possibly,

But, the question on everyones lips is...

Where can I get a white Cloth cap like that?

Nearly pimp enough for Scott325SE

good thinking! its about all they are good for!

[arcdef]

whats so bad about them

[Andy325i]

whats so bad about them

Oh dear

To cut a long story short, they are very badly made (esp the BK racing make)

If you were to cut a decent wheel in half, the metal would be of a constant density, where as a BK racing wheel would more than likely be like an aero (full of bubbles) as they are open cast, rather than injected under pressure, so hence are weaker than a quality wheel and bend very easily.

HTH

[zaust]

Reckon it will still get buckeled.

[DanThe]

Thats a very expensive hose reel!
I thought everyone knew the best thing for these is the scales at the non-ferrous metal merchants,
Now that is a benefit of being very heavy

I think im going to sell my Bk's now.

Might save for some nice BBS's.

[bodger]

sorry, but i really like the style of the alpinas, i am gonna get some for mine so apart from the obvious genuine ones which is the better make to go for if not bk

[Andy325i]

A nice set of style 5's

Where is a good UK place online to buy BBS wheels from?

There is another make (can't remember the name) but apparently they are not much better. I really like the Alpina wheels, but wanted them in 17", so I bought a set of E36 genuine ones to use with the 5 stud conversion, but these turned out to be bent when the arrived

Now I have gone a different route

Ebay

i had the choice of going for a set of bk,s or going for an origanal set of hartge that needed a refurb.. think youll know what i went for..

the bk's?
ive never had a problem with either of the 2 sets ive had with the first set only needing replaced after a head on collision with a truck
ive hit a few deep potholes and the odd kerb or 2 with no more than a few scuffs of damage.
even when i compared the weight with tyre to an original 15" bbs with tyre there was only 2.5 kg between then at 17.5kg and 15 kg respectively.
i think bk's get a bad press and that most people just jump on the "bash the bk" bandwagon as its seen as the 'cool ,in thing' to do.
your all just a bunch of badge snob bullys and should all be ashamed of yourselves for picking on an easy target.
shame on you all

[jbh]

tbh fuzzy ive been thinking on buying a set of bk,s for winter wheels when i was in the market for set of wheels at least 4 of my mates had bk,s on there cars so i went for the hartge i wouldnt say theres nowt wrong with the bk,s but given the choice between bk,s and hartge ill take my hartge

[DanThe]

Mate of mine put a set of Burger Kings on his Escort estate, although most would think it impossible they even made that drive worse!!

BK racing have a well earned reputation and for good reason!

I speak from first hand experience and have friends in the same boat

I haven't had any problems from my bk 121's,

Until I do I won't be changing them.

[Geeman]

I had a set of 17" Alpina reps on my Sport, though they weren't BK's... they were APR or something like that. The rim is smoother than a BK rim.

Still, they wobbled like a mother, even with spigots fitted. Never ever ran as smooth as my BBS's - which was a shame coz I loved the look of them.

PMSL!!

[pictonroad]

Who is that in the photo????

[AlexBaur325]

my 2p....i've never had BKs on my car but i do love the look of Alpinas, so i bought some Alpinas... maybe im just a badge snob but i like having the real thing.

[pictonroad]

What I want to know is what is a pic from the back of a random club with Ryan 'Stanton' and Elliot from PVW magazine doing on E30 zone... lol

[player6]

i uesd to sell bk wheels there are two probs with them one was the spiget ring and the other that bk fowed was the weight raiting on 204/40-17 on alot of makes of tyres is to low for a e30 a e30 has a high load
