there is nothing wrong with them. they are a wheel and they happen to be cheap. people buy expensive wheels and put crap tyres on them.

Ohhh the memories. 
Like I say, I've bent Vauxhall wheels, and I also don't think these BBS are any better, and they're not bloody cheap.

I had some Fox Evo's something or other and they were fine. I kurbed them once and did no more damage then i wouldve done with any other wheel. People say they are crap but really they are ok. People assume they are rubbish as Halfords sell them. Plus most people are sheep and say they are crap because everyone else does.

This is ture. 7" wide ET42 16" wheels and lowered 60mm was fun No scrubbing though and no arch mods. Mind you I was using APEX suspension so it was down 40mm most probably.

My Apex springs have made the back of my car very low, there is a definate difference between my old 40mm springs and these ones  Need new shocks though

I knew mine was low but I never had a chance to compare with anyone and everyone kept saying how Apex didnt go as low as they say they do. It may well have been down 60mm. It was pretty low in its day. I was using Apex shocks and springs. It wasnt a comfortable ride

Std. shocks for me The springs fall off when I jack the car up. As for the Fox alloys. I sold them for £400  They were a year old too!
