Ive been offered some Lenso BSX like so...
I could always pay 3 times the price and get some real BBS RS off Aron. I used to think I didnt care if they were fake splits or not, now im starting to think its not worth compromising. What do you think?

Tbh it would come down to how much you can afford if it was me. If you have the money for the proper ones and would prefer to have them then get them. If it's unrealistic that you'll be able to afford them then get the Lenso's.

Why dont you seek a set of BMW 328i Sport wheels they are genuine splits and look good.

You may need adaptors though so it may not be your thing

Ive considered BBS RZ, think they come on corrados and on 325s. The splits in the link are nice but 17s are probably a bit too big.

I'd sooner spend £600 on a set of LM reps than £600 a corner for the real deal for no reason other than to be able to wear a t shirt aboutfake split rims.

Spend 400quid on the lenso's and get 2-300 for them in a year, spend 1200quid on the BBS and get 1200 quid for them in a years time!
Real BBS won't loose money (if kept in good condition!)

I wouldn't even guess they were fake based on that picture.
Surely the real splits are still fake wire wheels?

Who gives a toss if there fake, only the right anal car nuts will slate you.
I would have a set of good material fakes no bother.
Its a bit like saying that anyone who puts a GSI kit on there 1.2 corsa is also gay??? Of course not, its because they look good.

Lenso's are also rubbish quality
SR91- They are the ultimate wheel for a MK1 and MK2 Golf, they will never go out of fashion

thats not always the case with lensos, you will still get your money back but there just harder to sell, reason knocking the price down to get rid of them..
bbs rms 15x8 in vgc for example pop up now and then for £800/850..
totally down to what you want, if you want real splits then pay the money, keep them in top condition and sell them for the same if not a little more then you paid for them

really wouldn't bother me, does having a wheel that splits make much difference to anything at all apart from your wallet?
