If so, any good?
With the cost of OEMs being £4,000 a set, I'm really tempted by the £200 a corner reps but worry about the strength.

I just can't find any Veeman's I like. I've looked at EVERYTHING (below a certain price) and still keep coming back to the BMW style replicas.mr.tourette said:Veemans are great quality and usually reasonably priced![]()

So surely it makes sense to buy cheap wheels that break, rather than expensive ones that break, no?
Very shiny there, Sir!IRD said:I bought some Atomic CSL replicas from BM Autosport for not much more than £600 earlier in the year. I am pleased with the finish on them and so far have had no problems. I found BM Autosport helpful and good to deal with.
