what are your perfect wheels for a 'Rado and why? Disc

Recommended Posts

For me you really can't beat a good set of BBS RMs or RSs.

 

Stunning wheel, really suits all VW's of the era and it is fairly light too so has a good edge when it comes to handling and ride.

 

Must confess to always liking speedlines, they just seem to suit the C and nice and easy to clean too.

 

Given a silly budget I like these, look pretty good I think although would have to loose the rice stylie red center cap for a black and silver one. Best thing about them is they only weight in 4.91kg - seriously light for 15" x 7" rim!

 

We have some 17" ones of these here at the moment and i agree they are a great wheel..

 

For me its the BBS 301' made for the corrado.. end of.

th line 3 piece splits ,they must have staimless radinox lips,no wheel comes close! you can abuse these wheels for 2months then just wipe with a cloth and they just shine back at you as if they were new! alloy lips suck!

bbs rs with stainless lips rock just as hard!

Not really a fan of bbs's,dont see the attraction with the center designs at all :?

Only time i like em is when they have a propper bit of depth/dish with a black/colour coded center...

 

Cant wait to get my next rims :D

Vento Cups

Oettinger REs

Borbet Cs

BBS LMs or Rial Daytonna Race look fecking awsome on the mk3 below (just loose the exhausts :roll: :wink:

OZ Futura

I never really warmed to the ZW1s, i have no idea why though. Bit too fusy, too much going on for my eyes!

 

I think taking into account all factors the 16" speeds are the best wheels ive ever had, but the oetts are on at the momment and i like the way they fill ther arches, just wish they were half the weight because the car handles like CR.P!!

 

I have to sell a set though so i'll have to decide soon :x

I have a really wierd love/hate relationship with the wheels on mine. They were on it when I got her and some days I love em, while other days I cant stand them! I dont even know what they are, but I think they are ACE Matig or something like that.

 

One things for sure tho, they are a POP to clean! 8)

I love yours mate, they look like 6 spoke oettingers!

 

Know what you mean, corrado must be the most fickle car there is when it comes to picking rimmage

Couldn't agree more Nick - the C is surely one of the hardest cars to find the 'right' rims for...

 

So far I've had G60 BBS, TSW (ok, but they were cheap :lol: ), Enzo Cups and now Cup 3's! The last 3 sets have all been in the last 18 months or so :D

D90s and Azev A are 2 of my favourites.

 

I had a set of D90s refurbed and ready to go on, but had to sell them to fund the purchase of a flat.

 

I sometimes really like my wheels, and other times don't, but I do like the fact that I never see another car with a set.

I'm gonna be different...

 

Speedlines 8)

 

Seriously, at first I wasn't sure that I even liked them when I bought my standard wheels, but they're refurbed, clean as a clean thing, and I love 'em. The car handles superbly with them. Tyres are cheap too :lol:

 

That said, I do like the BBS LM's or most other BBS's tbh, give me a black rim with chrome/brushed spokes, or the vice versa, and i'd be happy.

Second that, only thing is they should be available in 16x7 then i'd be happy... but theres only a few sets in existence in that size due to being made for motorsport only or summat.

for those of us who dont have about £2000 to spend on some BBS LM's (thats most of us) i have found these alloys. ok they are not bbs's so

1, they will weigh more

2, they will not be as well made,

3, they are about £500 for the set of 4.
