sparkie06 0 Posted January 19, 2011 Hi, I am looking for a pair of bbs RX alloy wheels (1 Piece 5x100). I think they came with the mark 3 Gti golf anniversary. Does anyone have a set for sale? Been looking for a set for ages but have only come across the RX2's for sale which are off a mark 4 gti but I am not sure if they will fit .... :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sparkie06 0 Posted January 19, 2011 Cheers, will the offset not make a difference? Alloywheels.com state that the corrado offset is between 20 to 35 and the MK 4 bbs alloys offset is 43? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VeeDub Geezer 0 Posted January 19, 2011 iirc the Mk4 ones are 6.5 inches wide and the Mk3 ones a 7 inches wide. That's the main difference between the two :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dukest 0 Posted January 19, 2011 iirc the Mk4 ones are 6.5 inches wide and the Mk3 ones a 7 inches wide. That's the main difference between the two :) Correct. Also, those offsets from that website are rubbish. Et43 is the correct offset for 6.5in wheels on the VR (it's what speedlines are). That changes to Et38 for 7in wheels (ie. the mk3 anni Rx2). I'm not sure the Rx was standard on any 5x100 VW but they were available direct from BBS in 16x7 and above if that's what you're after - a few forum members have 16/17s. However the 16in rx2s are obviously easier to get hold of having been on the golfs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larceny fink 10 Posted April 5, 2012 Just picked up a set of 16" 5 stud BBS RX rims in need of refurb. Should look nice when done hopefully. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bristolbaron 10 Posted April 5, 2012 16x7 are defo a better option if you can find them but 6.5's will work.. Single piece do come in a 16x7 also, but are easier to find in a 4x100. Normally the splits are fairly cheap as they wear terribly, but this means they can be refurbished to exactly how you want them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted April 9, 2012 Bingo! Buy these quick!!! http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?67509-4x-BBS-Alloy-wheels-and-tyres-%285-stud%29 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larceny fink 10 Posted April 10, 2012 The set I just bought (getting them tomorrow) are 16" 5x100 6.5 wheels - look like splits from photo's, and need refurbing. Went for 16's as with 205/45/16 tyres I will get fitted they are within a small whisker of being same size as speedline's 15" circumference and will get no rubbing.

That was over 4 years ago he was looking, doesn't mean he isn't still wanting them but you'd be best putting up a for sale ad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
