Post by: jmsheahan on 30 June 2010, 13:38: Pretty damn sure they are RJ's - my mk2 used to have them and they were the original rims.

There are two different types of RZ though aren't there? One's with curvier spokes than others

VW's which as far as I'm aware came on some corrado's

And the flat ones. Beemer ones have a different offset I thought.

Post by: twistedblack69 on 02 July 2010, 01:35: As far as I'm aware, every single picture posted in this thread, including signatures, are RJs. Alec, as you said, RJs are ET33. Not sure if the RJ came in 14", but 14" RZs were ET30 and 15" were ET24

These are RZs. Notice how where the spokes bend, they are a lot pointier, rather than curved like the RJs

RZs came on g60 mkIIs - as per DPBs red one - i had the same wheels on my G2 - et was 33 on both in a 15 inch variety :smiley:

Post by: jmsheahan on 02 July 2010, 10:46: RJ's def came in 14"

Back to the original post - look at the codes to settle this :grin:
Title: Re: BBS Wheels!
Post by: bomp on 02 July 2010, 23:36: They are RJ's. It's simple to tell the difference, just look at the size of the triangular shaped bits above the outer centre ring. They are smaller than the other pictures posted, simples.

Post by: OakeyDoak16v on 03 July 2010, 03:02: RZ's, BOMP! You are wrong. :evil:
Title: Re: BBS Wheels!
Post by: OakeyDoak16v on 03 July 2010, 03:11: No. Deff RJ's, final! :smiley:
Title: Re: BBS Wheels!
Post by: bomp on 03 July 2010, 11:05: What he says ^^ :smiley: Cheap and cheerful, usually around £50 for a set, but they look the muts nuts on Polos when they've been powder coated properlly, as they sit in the arches really nice.

Yep, but they're not a much wanted wheel, that is why they go so cheap. £600 for RA's? :shocked: That's a little optomistic, no way they are selling for that, even rocco-jocco sells those for half that price after being powder coated, diamond cut lips and clear laquered http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=159840.0
