I'd been rocking the BBS CK's for a few years now, first on the mk6 then the mk7 for a while but had been fancying a change.
The trouble was the mk7 is such a fussy car when it comes to alloy wheels with all the straight edges to the styling of the car.
After thinking long and hard for many months I finally settled on a set of Rondell 02RZ which I ordered from Germany.
I wanted an OEM style wheel from a half decent manufacturer which meant something German ideally (half decent manufacture and TUV approval).
BBS SR's in the half polished finish were considered but in the end rejected on cost and the fact they're 8.5 inch wide which means the rim protection from the 235 tyres will be null and void. I do try and avoid kerbs but there's always the odd manoeuvre with an unexpected close encounter!!!! When you have 35 profile tyres kerbs bring you out in a cold sweat!
I doubt they'll be a popular choice here which is quite good really as I like to have something a bit unusual.
I personally like the style of the wheel as it sort of reminds me of a hybrid of the Santiagos and my old favourites the Charleston Shadow.
With the sharp lines it matches the car styling well.
And yes, they have polished faces so yes, i do know that much misery awaits sooner or later!!!
