I know a few folks have the CHs... do you guys think they're worth the $100+ premium per wheel over the CKs? Will the CHs be easier to eventually sell?

I have the ck's. Been very happy with them, and they've lasted through some very rough roads.

I always thought you had the CHs... they look great!Quote:

I much prefer the look of CH's. For me personally, if I were spending that much $$ on new wheels, I'd shell out the extra $400 for CH's without a moment's hesitation.
I have what's in my sig.Quote:

Here they are mounted on my ///M...

Can't argue with that :)Quote:

if i had my druthers i'd take the CHs as the lines are a bit cleaner, but they are both sweet, albeit on the heavy side, no?

CH is one of my favorite BBS wheels.
The CK is more curvacious, and I like both a lot.
I like the CH just a bit more because it has Motorsport engraved in it. If the CK had that then I'd probably rep those instead, so they're pretty darn close and is a hard choice to make.
Yes, as Dane said, they will survive a pounding (most likely). I've gone through some terrible roads in NYC at speed with the BBS wheels and they haven't bent yet, and I only have 245/35 tires with them. I'm thoroughly impressed.Quote:

weren't two of them bent when you got them, though? :)Quote:

Thinking I'll go with the CKs... have a little time to decide but I'm not sure it's worth the extra cash for me, even though they do say motorsport :) Sounds like either way is a win, though.
Ryan, you can't go wrong going with either the CKs or CHs... :thumbsup
If money was a concern, buying them new obviously isn't an option. lolQuote:

Yeah but even after straightening, they were still hundreds less than the closest used set of CH's at the time.Quote:

Red Caps :drool
Do they mean different things? Like can I just use any of them?
Sent from my iPhone
Need to make sure they are the correct size.
I usually go below for mine.

Size is important and the happiness of your wallet. Certain colors are rarer than others.Quote:

It doesn't look good like that. I say pick and color and go all 4.Quote:

With that kind of force, you'll bend any kind of wheel, regardless of how it's made.Quote:

No wheel is immune to bends, just that some are stronger than others. I never question the quality of BBS wheels.
i question the quality of all wheels! LOL. :)Quote:
