StuartFZR400 0 Posted December 3, 2004 Trying to choose BBS wheels for rado [set of 4]. Can anyone: a) Confirm which BBS came standard with which car? b) give a typical asking price for each style [2nd hand - good nick] This site lists some. http://www.oxfordshirevwoc.co.uk/wtrwheels.htm But Im also under the impression that the G60 came with RM's [not RA's]. The RS 001 splits look very fancy, I guess these ask top price, but were not a vw option?! Any tips will help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuartFZR400 0 Posted December 3, 2004 With a set of used tyres obviously makes things more tricky in determining a price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuartFZR400 0 Posted December 7, 2004 Does anyone know which BBS this is? --- compliments of Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 7, 2004 Someone please help Stuart out, because i've tried to help but I just don't know the model number / name for the standard G60 wheel! :( Are they possibly BBS RA's ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olly elworthy 0 Posted December 7, 2004 they arent RA`s as ra`s are the standard 15" golf gti 16v rims,,, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted December 7, 2004 I think the standard G6O fitment BBS wheel is the 6.5 x 15 RZ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuartFZR400 0 Posted December 7, 2004 THANK YOU :) .... either RA or RZ's. Will go hunting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geo 0 Posted December 7, 2004 As mentioned above the RA's are the standard Mk2 Golf 16V wheel. These are no good for a G60 corrado as even though they are 15s they won't clear the G60 front brakes (they also look crap on corrados IMO I've seen them on a few 16Vs) As far as I know the standard G60 wheel shown above and as fitted to my Golf are actually BBS RMs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuartFZR400 0 Posted December 7, 2004 BBS RZ's as advertised on internet; att maybe they change style of the RZ each year? Maybe the G60's were limited edition? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolrado 0 Posted December 7, 2004 rm's are splitties, i thought the standard ones where rz's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geo 0 Posted December 7, 2004 I know the RMs are the two piece rims as fitted to the golf G60 edition one. But I thought that the corrado G60 wheel was an RM as well as they are essentially the same style just a single piece version of the split rim RM. I'm probably wrong though. :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got a 16v, but like the bbs seen on a G60. Either way my calipers should fit within Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_leon_ 0 Posted December 7, 2004 unless I've been heavily mistaken, they are RMs. I've just paid £200 for 4 with Pirelli P5000s, £40 for postage. Though I have seen some go for about 250. Ebay always to seems to have some on (including ones selling in germany). Hope that helps :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geo 0 Posted December 7, 2004 I paid Eur400 (about £275) for mine with 4 nearly new Yokohama A539s One of the wheels was brand new and the others were in very good nick. I only got 3 centre caps though.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted December 8, 2004 RMs are a 2 piece split rim, the one piece is not an RM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted December 8, 2004 Yep, RM's were not standard on Corrado G60's but were offered as an optional extra, I think the standard ones were RA's... http://www.oxfordshirevwoc.co.uk/wtrwheels.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 8, 2004 Yep, RM's were not standard on Corrado G60's but were offered as an optional extra, I think the standard ones were RA's... Erm.... I think the standard G6O fitment BBS wheel is the 6.5 x 15 RZ :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geo 0 Posted December 8, 2004 I've just emailed BBS :lol: I still think they are RMs. They definitely aren't RAs or RZs. RAs were the mk2 golf 16v wheel with exposed wheel nuts and RZs were the early Mk3 Golf VR6 wheel AFAIK..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 8, 2004 Maybe the non-split and split G60 wheels are both called RM? Why can't BBS just use names like other brands!! Would be so much easier! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigTartanJudge 0 Posted December 8, 2004 For info, The standard wheels available on the Corrado G60 were: BBS RZ, 6.5 x 15" ET 33 4 X 100 PCD They were NOT RM's, these were 2-piece split rims (same size tho 6.5 x 15") and they were only available on Mk2 Golf Edition One's AND as an option on late-spec G60;s AFAIK. They were the same ones as appeared on early Golf VR6's except obviously the VR6 wheels were 5 x 100 PCD. Cheers, BigEastSideVWG60 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the standard G6O fitment BBS wheel is the 6.5 x 15 RZ :lol: Simple ! .... oh well, we'll see. Big fella above seems to have the answer. I've got some non-standard BBS now off ebay. Not a clue what they are, 6-spoke, at the right price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
