BRM Wide 5 alloys. Help please from those that have them!

[Chester Copperpot]

Dear all,
Im looking at getting the above alloys but notice they are different in price depending on the make(flat 4 £129.99 , Midland wheels £109.99) and company they are purchased from .
My questions are- which have you purchased?, are you happy with them?, would you recommend them(make)?
If there is little difference surely the cheaper wheels seem the better option, right??? :?

Thanks for your help.
CP

Go for the flat 4, MWS are ok but I think the offset (is that the right word) is better on the flat 4.

You pays your money and takes your choice. I think mine are MWS, can't be sure as I bought them second hand.

We've had mws BRM's on our split for the last 5 year's , no problems, bought them cheap at a show, once my bus is painted was thinking of putting them on my 70 bay ( as my hubby sold my polished fuschs :evil: ) I think all after market alloys are beetle off set anyway.

I spend the £20 per wheel for quality, kudos and peace of mind ... on many levels.

VW Heritage put this update out today - Looks like the ET has changed on several ranges of wheels.

From reading the update, the ET for their SSP BRM's has improved by a couple of mm - from 12 to 14.

Note: Flat4 BRM's are ET12. MWS BRM's are ET11.
