Default Bola b1, good?

A buddy of mine is looking at a set of Bola B1 wheels, i dont know any thing about these apart from their well priced, i have tried too push him to get Rotas or something else because of the low cost working on you get what you pay for, any experiences shared would be thankfully recieved.
Hope your all well👍

I’ve got them mate on my car, meant to be cheap trash but they serve a purpose for me, I’m sure if you drive at break neck speed they will fall to bits or something

They said same bout xxr’s I’ve had them on and no probs
i like the bolas and are in my list especially 18” 8j wide preferably in white 🥰

Tyres play a big part in the drive and potholes with the sidewalls make etc

Hi bud @DarkusDarkus

What width are those and what tyre size are you running?

The Bola B1 are for me btw but may just decide to go for the Rota Grid Drift.

Andy.

P.S. Cheers Will @lockheed

Can't remember at the minute give me an hour or so and I'll check , there probably heavier than the more expensive wheels but never made any difference to me wanted the TE 37 but couldn't justify the cost at the time so these were fine .

that looks the business mate 👍 you could spend an extra grand or so on a top set of wheels and they won’t look as good as this. The expensive ones probably justify their price on track etc but for normal road use nothing wrong with bolas 👍

Pretty sure the wheels are 8.5
tyres are Goodyear eagle F1225/45R 18
Hope this helps in any way
I'll try and get round to putting some pictures up of the car up soon ,have been meaning to for awhile.

Nice one 👍 don't get me wrong we all like a little bit of expensive wheel **** but it would cost me twice as much when you inevitably kerb them followed by vomiting and crying all over the interior to have that sorted out as well.

Thanks, it's a bit of a garage queen lately but hopefully be back out in it soon. Just been taking advantage of some lockdown decorating.
