Hofmiester 10 Posted March 2, 2014 Looking for some show rims for my Blackberry, won't pay £1500 for a set of BBS splits :) I have too much on a conscience that I could take my kids for a nice holiday for that kind of cash so budget is sub £700 for rims (got tyre) Found these ROTA wheels but no pics of them on a C, they look nice and retro. http://www.driftworks.com/rota-d154-16-wheels-all-colours.html Pic in 5 stud guise http://rotablog.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1375154_675070342503420_635152399_n.jpg On a mk4, think they would look better on a C and the Mk4 looks too modern for these rims http://dudesphotography.smugmug.com/Events/SEMA-2013/i-qH2sKNN/0/L/59-IMG_7914-L.jpg Come in the perfect size too, 16x8 ET30 What do you guys think?

Could you get a photoshop done to see how they would look? :lol: It's gonna be one of them day's I think. Yeah need to photoshop to see how they would look not sure that size is spot on either Ron my TH's are 8x16 can't remember the offset but I have a 10mm spacer on the back as they were too tucked without I know you were wanting to get away from using spacer's/adapter's.

seanl82 23 Posted March 2, 2014 They look similar to zender turbos. Google that Ron, there are a couple of polished sets without the cutouts around the centre on Corrados. Look good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted March 2, 2014 I like them wheels but just not sure on a Corrado. May work with a bit of colour coding round the edges of the cut outs.... With a £700 budget have you thought about a set of RS reps? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie 1 Posted March 2, 2014 They're all fake splits I think Ron. Personally not a fan of fake splits myself but I know some people don't mind them so just thought I'd throw it in there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted March 2, 2014 RS reps? Do you have a link? I won't do fake splits :) NNNooooooooooo RS rep's are notorious for quality issue's even the more well known one's You could have mine for £700 Ron ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted March 4, 2014 Ronal Turbos were available in 16x7.5, look much the same (except they're actually retro. :lol:) and will cost about £700, if the sets on US eBay are anything to go by. Most of the truly retro wheels seem to be 15", I just bought a gorgeous set of Atiwe Typ 90s for my Golf (15x7) and I thought they were dear at £400! On previous owner's car: Personally I can't stand most 'scene' BBS wheels, they just don't appeal to me. Buck the trend and get some nice five-spokes!

Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) I personally can't stand the 'scene' take a perfectly good car and make it undriveable. It's ridiculous You can't call it art either. A Polo is not art. Edited March 5, 2014 by Sean_Jaymo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted March 5, 2014 Screw this..... Gona put the solitudes back on and be done with it :) Original Solitudes or Speedlines. Just can't beat a clean VR on original Speedlines to be honest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmiester 10 Posted March 5, 2014 Original Solitudes or Speedlines. Just can't beat a clean VR on original Speedlines to be honest. Got a freshly refurbished set of solitudes stashed away. Never been on the car since the refurb but I'm going to give them a try at the weekend. Definately prefer solitudes to speedlines.....i really dislike speedlines Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
