I'm sorry here Asker but every time I see those Cades Bern Silver I think they just look like Ed35 wannabe wheels. I remember seeing a picture of proposed rims on the Ed35 which looked very similar.
I suppose there's always the benefit of looking like the Ed 35 in that it would be more OEM but I wasn't a fan of the Ed 35 when I saw it.
The first one's are stunning though.

Thought long and hard myself and I agree, the CKs are No 1 for me too. I'll wrestle an extra bit of discount for a fast buy on Monday. Just playing the waiting game to drop the price and change the wheel from CS-5s to CKs. Shock and awe tactics. :evil: :grin:

Hello Alex. As I am a Princess in your eyes, I'll probably change my mind a million times by Monday.
But the burning question is: Are you buying the CS-5s on Monday?
Don't forget my advice on where to buy the Goodyears.
Decision made - BBS CK Silver alloys. :smiley:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyviyF-N23A
Alex: If they knock that zero off, she will never trust you again!

right idea in getting a Polo GTI and modding it. :smiley:I found the polo a dull, borring, detached modern heavy euro box to drive with little real feeling compared to cars like my mk1, mk2 and mini. Been auto just made the experience worse. I also hope they have sorted the panel fit and paint out as we have never seen a transporter full of cars such bad even a fiat DST/PDIer comented they were a discrace. Modding it imo is just going to make it ride worse (its not great anyway imo) and the engine more fragile(not got the best rep to start with). Each to there own but we looked at both the Polo GTI and ibiza cupra and decided against them.

@Jim:
Did you get on-car pictures from Performance Alloys for the CS-5 Anthracites? You can also Google for pictures.
The burning question is: Are you going to buy these wheels?
@Jim: Pages 1 & 3 for Black and Page 2 for Anthracite for CS-5 alloys, though not on a car. See the silver bits on the black wheel, it looks like a 5 spoke design. Better on the Anthracite.

Still not got mine, still in two minds but this pic helps....
Jim: I can fully understand your difficulty in choosing between Anthracite and Black. I kept going back and forth between these two myself. I am leaning more and more towards the Anthracite. No, I definitely prefer the Anthracite from these two.
Personally, Silver CS-5s with your silver car will look A1 Ace and they will be cheaper.

Must admit the BBS CH are growing on me.

The shadows looked too halfords shop window in the very bright sunshine were the BBS looked v.good imo.

Will try and order within the next month, do you reckon anthracite will look good on black or should I go with silver. I perefer the CS-5 to the CKs even though they are a bit dearer. :undecided:
I'm in three minds, a week ago I wanted antracite, then black and now I've nearly decided on silver as I noticed that the silver is 5 spokes are polished and the others are matt style.Jim

Adrian my dear chap. Don't confuse Amanda. Her black Bonnie will look best with Silver CS-5s. The Anthracite ones will look odd IMO.
Gizzy my Yorkshire rose. Listen to me, at least for Bonnie's sake, and she will be the perfect BBS babe on these silver Jimmy Chews.
With either Anthacite or Black as background spokes, your wheels will appear to have only 5 spokes. The whole idea of getting CS-5s is to flaunt that amazing spoke fest. :smiley:

Anyway, that's for mid Sept before the wheels are delivered. I'll certainly consider what you have alerted me to. :smiley:

I was told it is a 2 week wait from BBS to get wheels 'machined' by THEM for the change in ET.My fear is that a mounting face has a steel seat (usually) with a set depth below it to allow the use of standard length wheel bolts...if you machine off 5mm from the face, does the bolt extend through the hub far enough to impact on the ABS ring?
Anyway, that's for mid Sept before the wheels are delivered. I'll certainly consider what you have alerted me to. :smiley:
There are also issues of bolt torque as the given torque is based on a set clamping length...if you remove 5mm, you shorten this by 5mm and spread the torque over a 5mm shorter distance...does this impact on the bolts elastic limit?
Probably not...but it just seems odd.
I know for a fact that an ET35 CH is a different forging/casting to a ET50 CH...so I find it hard to believe it's all in the machining.
Bear in mind too that they'll be taper seat wheels, not radius seat, so you will ned the matching bolts from BBS, and your locking wheel bolts will not fit....and you'll need to keep 5 of the standard bolts in the boot in case you ever need your spare!
You maybe knew all this...just pointing it out in case.
I was about to PM you and ask about the bolts that would be needed if I had the wheels machined. Your post is most welcome.
It would seem best I leave things alone. I must ask them about the bolt supply from BBS tomorrow.
Thanks a million.
BBS Supply new wheel bolts and locking bolts with the wheels :smiley:
Steven: Have you had your ET changed?
Also you get a full fitting kit with the alloy's (spiggot rings,longer bolts and locking wheel nuts) so if you did get them machined your wheel nut's that you have on your car at the moment should fit fine.
Steven: Have you had your ET changed?Nope!
Like Ess_three said it's not worth it. I've never known anyone do it and it can possibly lead to all sort's of problems.
I did look into it but found out that you can't special order a different offset with BBS, it's the BBS stockist that send them out to get machined(Max 5mm)
It's up to you but i'm pretty fussy and mine look fine to me. The BBS stockist said the ET44 gives it a more agressive look! :huh:
Also you get a full fitting kit with the alloy's (spiggot rings,longer bolts and locking wheel nuts) so if you did get them machined your wheel nut's that you have on your car at the moment should fit fine.

My OEM RXIIs are radius seat...but I was under the impression that ANY BBS wheel that needs a spigot ring uses a taper seat...so the standard wheel bolts will NOT fit fine.
If he gets the alloys machined less 5mm the longer wheel bolts supplied with the alloys may not fit that's why i said the one's he has on the car at the moment which are shorter should fit fine.
I also used my VW locking wheel nuts with my BBS CK's, no problems, a little shorter but ok fit.

You are missing the point about the seats...
OEM bolts are RADIUS seat.
Aftermarket BBS are 60 degree TAPER seat.
You cannot use RADIUS seat bolts on TAPER seat wheels or the other way round as it's unsafe and you risk your wheels falling off.
You NEED to match seat type with bolt type...and his OEM bolts have the WRONG profile for aftermarket BBS wheels.
So fit, as it screw in and not hit the ABS ring, yes.
Be safe...no. Utterly wrong...and potentially dangerous.
Thanks for explaining, better take out the VW locking wheel nuts and replace them with the ones provided.

Good man...it's for the best.
You can limp home on 4 bolts, but I would never suggest hammering about on only 4 correct bolts - which is what a missmatch of seats/bolts gives you.
Did'nt realise you could have two different type's of wheel bolts. :embarassed:Thanks for explaining, better take out the VW locking wheel nuts and replace them with the ones provided.Good man...it's for the best.

No, I am not changing my mind!
I think they resemble vomit going down the plug hole
Funnily, I don't. The writing around the hub puts me off. But thanks for offering them to me in a round about way. :grin:
Definitely the CK's - there used to be a carbon grey GTI around here on them and it looked great.option 2
He still really wants 19s though :evil:

Pretty 18x8 ET45 Alloys for £840 & less for the Mk6 GTI.This kinda reminds me of the current Golf advertising campaign - why buy 'something like a Golf' when you can buy a real Golf. And BBSs and Golfs both cost too much money. :tongue:

Would be fun seeing what happens with one of those wheels when it hits a big pothole :evil:
I ment the carbon fibre ones. Sorry to confuse people.
Snoops those aren't really for me tbo. I don't think they would suit the GTI however they do look nice on the Seats.

I think they will look super on the GTI. :cool:

Perfect for the man with OCD (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) which counts Gilly out.............

There are some similar designs made by BBS:
- original BBS CH (MOTORSPORT): different sizes and bolt patterns (VAG 8x18 ET50)
- new BBS CH-R: dito
- cheaper BBS CO: without 'Motorsport'
VAG 5x112 only:
- BBS VZ033 (Votex/driver gear): 8x18 ET44
- VW Pescara/Rockingham (ED30): 7.5x18 ET51
- Audi A3 S-Line '14-spoke-design': 7.5x18 ET54
- Audi A4/A6 S-Line '14-spoke-design': 8x18 ET43
Can you get VW badged centre caps for BBS wheels? :undecided:
Those look like mk5 edition 30 passcara/rockingham VW wheels.
They are 7.5x18 with ET50 and standard VW bolt hole type and i suspect different centre bore for the standard VW badge size.
Rather than the BBS VZ version which looks similar but are much cheaper.
Can you get VW badged centre caps for BBS wheels? :undecided:Sorry, delayed reply, been visiting Mickey Mouse and avoiding hurricanes. BBS wheels have a much larger centre cap unless you're buying OEM specced ones such as Pescaras. One good thing about BBS centre caps is that they don't suffer from the same whiteworm issues as OEM VW caps.
For those who are interested in the actual colour of the wheels:
First without any overhead lighting:

Patience is the mother of all virtue.
They will be fitted at 9 am on Saturday 1st October 2011 to my Michelin PA3 Winters.
I've already said so. :tongue:
Everything bought but not fitted as I will be out of action for 8 to 10 weeks and the car will be in storage. :sad:

Shoulder works fine now and there is next to no pain. But there is that 5 cm tear in the tendon which must be repaired. So I've decided to go for surgery and will take a long rest in my holiday home on the Mediterranean. Christmas holidays start on the 25th October for me until 2nd week of January 2012.

Two old age pensioners having oral sex. The old man says, "I can't stay down here much longer, it stinks." The old woman replies, "That'll be my arthritis."
"Arthritis in your fanny ?" asks the old man. "No", says the old woman, "The arthritis means I can’t wipe my arse.

6 weeks in and no sign of the wheels! Come on Asker get the finger out and get the pictures up.
Not buying the BBS wheels. Possibly Wolfrace Luganos in silver if I can be bothered. Car in secure storage for next 6 weeks whilst I am in post operative recovery. Now playing the long game for the Mk7 GTI as I am gradually getting bored with the Mk6 GTI. Only purchase will be a mint Monza Shadow as a replacement for my inadequately repaired one.
