Title: BBS RZ 15" 5x100 - Uncommon?
Post by: Micah on 19 February 2010, 21:10

I bought my Golf last weekend and the guy said he spent a fair amount of money on these wheels.  I've searched on here for RZ's and i can't find much on them.  The ones i have are in fantastic condition and they look great but i'm tempted by some 16" wheels due to the caliper clearance i'm struggling with at the moment.  Can anyone shed some light on the RZ's and if they are desirable as i'm made to believe?

On the Golf?? Thought RZs only came on BMWs. Can you post some pics? They may be E32 and E36 BMWs ('80s 5 and 7 series I think).

shep, how was that helpful? I asked a question...and you quoted what someone said before me? I was questioning that quote because I didn't think they came on Golfs

Crap pic I'm afraid, but only one I could find

I do believe they came on early E30 BMW's too.

Are the one's on the Corrado not RJs?

These are the Corrado ones

These are the BMW ones

The Corrado ones are more curved where the spokes bend back towards themselves (if that makes sense)

Could BBS have made things a bit easier?  Does my head in, but i have some RXII's now, so my RZ/(J?)'s are coming off!
