Default Comp CXN reps

On the site it doesn't state a 108 fitment but i bet they would be interested to make them if there were. and they offer 8 or 9x17

A place by me sells them, there meant to be VERY good reps! At Ł500 a set too you cant go wrong really, whats a genuine set of CXN's, Ł2000?

*EDIT* The place by me can apprently get them with a blank PCD too so you can have them drilled to whatever you want...

I think a new set is around Ł2500-2600 all in so a big difference

Good find, does it state what offset they are or is that optional?

You would have to ring and ask - for me i would go with a 9" rear and try for ET35 and 8" front with ET40 i think that works out similar to what i have

i know there copies and they will probably by cast so not split rims but i was under the impression even genuine CXN's are quite soft alloys and can damage quite easy with more expense to repair.

i personally would rather CXN's but it makes you wonder what the 2.5k is for as neither wheel manufacture are selling at a loss.

To be fair Pete i think they're a great buy, they look spot-on and if i were buying again i'd defo think twice and consider these.. ESPECIALLY the fooking nightmare you have with Compomotive...

Are they 1 piece? I am glad I did the CXN thing years ago or i'd be gutted with these these reps were about!

Mind you CXN's are reps of BBS RS's anyway

Dave whats going on mate - i noticed your old 3dr parked in the car park at silverstone with the comps on - do you have that car back or have i missed something????

As for these wheels i would be interested for a number of reasons:

  1. you could fit a decent set of brakes behind them without fitting spacers.
  2. you wouldn't be afraid to use them on the road
  3. the price
  4. and you wouldn't have to deal with compomotive
