i was just waiting for that from Jon :lol:

 

I just realised i posted the wrong link above, the rs list is as follows which covers most of the European available rs's. you will find that a lot of the jap ones are missing from it though.

Ref to the redrilled set i would have the same concerns whether it has been done to a high standard. Otherwise i think the size and offset should be ok with 205/40/17 tyres given that you have rolled arches. Best car to compare against would be Bally as he runs 9's with an et15 all round plus a spacer at the rear. Since rs's are modular you could always source narrower dishes if the 8.5j is too wide. You have to be careful if going this route as early 17" rs's used 16" centres stepped up to 17". Later on BBS made a dedicated larger weave for their 17". The second type of 17" is more common and dishes are easier to source.

anyone car to share the joys of cleaning them?? must admit they are and always will be up there with the best, look amazing end of!! but the bbs wheels on my golf daily are bad enough to clean, does my head in!! just for that reason i wouldnt ever buy a set!!

 

good luck with the search, let us see it with them on!!

 

I think rs's are actually easier to clean than a lot of other bbs wheels. I find them way easier to clean compared to my old ch's and rc's. You just need to use the right combination of brushes then dry with a micro fiber

:norty: LOL

 

BBS Wheels are common but with some many finishes and width combination available, they can be made to look very different and suit most VW's and many non VW's perfect :)

I reckon the only reason Jon hasn't got these wheels is cos he'd then have to buy the car to fit them :lol:
