Easy now
Looking to get some 18's for my pending S3 Sportback. Been doing the research and many a google search from this and other forums says they look ace but arent reliable. They buckle and weigh +20kgs with tyres!!
These posts however are a few years old so I wondered if anyone knew the latest scoop. From MTM now:
"Particular attention has been given to ensuring high solidity in construction. The bimoto rims higher load bearing capacity at less weight is attributable to the forged manufacturing as compared with cast rims."
Have they altered their production process and now run only forged rims? Were the older buckling problems cast wheels? It says Bentleys can run on them but RS4 forums account numerous buckling issues which is surely a lighter car. In Cyprus we have potholes galore so I dont fancy shelling out a few grand for wheels only to have them inevitably buckle. Other option is BBS CH in black but the Bimotos are a classic look and something different!
