Pic request Corrado with late Golf VR6 BBS alloys

Recommended Posts

I've just bought some tyres fitted to 15 inch BBS (RX?) wheels off a late Golf VR6, the wheels have been badly painted black, does anyone have a pic of a Corrado fitted with these wheels to help make my mind up to refurb or weigh them in.

 

Thanks

 

I'm surprised there isn't a wheel thread here...........

Don't have a pic of these, but when I was choosing wheels I wanted something similar... I think this style of wheel on the Corrado suits 16" a bit better (IMO of course)

 

I went for BBS RCs in the end. I was going for either these or single piece 16" RXs, but the RCs are lighter, and I was struggling to find RXs.

 

Here's a pic (before the alignment was done)

Very nice. My car is currently as it left the factory on speedlines, I have a pair of NOS 16 inch RX2s and I'm waiting to find another pair of NOS at reasonable money.

 

I bought 4 205 50 15s on the VR6 rims but the previous owner of them paint them black - a rattle can job, including the centre caps, wheel weights and probably brake dust too.

 

I've been through all 49 pages of this thread and not seen one fitted with them.

I don't need to see them to know they won't look right, in 15" on a VR6 it doesn't get better than the OE Speedlines, keep the tyres if they are decent and move the wheels on.

I hope the owner dosn't mind me borrowing his pic

Personally I don't think they look too bad (much better than a lot of aftermarket alloys IMO), I may go the refurb way now

Certainly better than many aftermarket offerings but it looks like a car thats had its Speedlines stolen and had Golf VR6 alloys fitted because

a the owner couldn't source replacement Speedlines

b didn't know any better
