My OH wants these which are for sale on another site. BBS RA's with tyres. Need refurb but only £100.

I noticed this buckle (which he didn't try to hide from me)

Repairable or nothing to worry about or scrap?

I'm no expert but I suspect they are reps-perhaps someone can confirm? . Also consider a proper refurb is £250-275ish without them having to sort out a buckle. Suddenly they don't look that cheap. :wink:
 
Bbs ra's are a cheap and readily available wheel anyway. Could buy the lot and get another wheel and run the damaged one as a spare
 
I have confirmed they are genuine. and would you believe my wheel refurbing cousin showed up tonight who said (looking at some other photos too) the buckle is safe as it is but also repairable.

Glad to hear they are relatively easy to get hold of though incase of emergency.
I have a set of Advan 'Model 6' alloy wheels for sale. No point googling them as they are so rare that no one wants them because there's never any for sale in this country. Sitting in my shed doing nothing now
 
That looks like an easy repair to me, have had far worse fixed without any problem. Certainly wouldn't think once let alone twice about safety/strength after having that repair done.
