yeah true - but with mark up's like theres, and how busy they are, their suppliers really shud be top notch.

in all fairness, in our family, we've ordered bout 10 different sets from em, all of which have been at the door pretty sharpish! Even a cousins 19" chrome's for a Focus only took a week!!

But never mind, they said my wheels will be here on Thurs - so i'm excited :D

Matt

gotta remeber they all have a supplier down the line

But the same went for bout 3 other sets i asked for.

I mean its rediculous, this is meant to be the biggest alloy wheel retailer (advertised in all the mags etc), but they simply dont hold stock for what is quite a popular car (306).

The wheels they said they could get 'straight out to me', are still gonna take 4 days ish!!

I dont expect them to keep every wheel in stock for every car, but everytime i phoned, they didnt even seem bothered. It was like, hmm yeah, give us 2 weeks on that set, or nah, be january before we think of gettin those in.

:rolleyes:

Matt

mayb that's all it is, jus looks like a unprotected area

the wheels wont ever rust, they will oxidise but never rust.

my m8 had bk's on hos golf...No problems with rust or that after a few years but gold rim round centre cap came off and got lost..but thats all.

a good question! how the fuck do they rust?? what metals are alloys made from? I thought they were a stainless/alumin mix but obviously not if they rust.

XTC113 has just got some BK rims on his car, im pretty sure they are the 240s too. Might be worth asking his opinion, but he hasnt had them long either.

i got bk racing 15's n there still mint no problems at all i know there fairly old was on car when i got it

my BK 322's were a pile of wankmonkeys

The "high polished outer rim" rotted away, very very poor.

The new ones BK 240's are fine..........................................for now. Cos i have only had them for 3-4 months

i will post a pic wen i get 2 wash it. a bit of autosol should have it off. i guess laquer wasn't sprayed round that area.

how the fuck do allys rust, can someone explin this to me please, they might oxidise causing the paint to bubble but this shouldnt happen for years, even on the cheap crap ones. my dad had bk alloys on his bm for 4 years and they were perfect, no defects or anything.

Any more news??

You will get that with every make mate to be honest.Just the way some of them are made.

Like cars really.The BBS rims i've just been looking at though better not peel for £500 each :!

cheers - i think they'll be ok :D i mean rapid deflation? musta be crap fitment of tyres, not the rims themselves!!

Just changed my order with Wheel base for a set of BK racing rims...

after some research (which i shud have done b4 hand), i've discovered people who have had problems with rapid deflation and laquer peeling off etc??

Anyone off this site had good/bad stories bout them??

cheers
