Title: put a name to my wheels!
Post by: tsr_adi on 08 August 2011, 22:15

I know these are early 15" 5x100 BBS VR6 wheels, but I maybe looking to sell them or source centre caps for them, so can anyone put a name to them for me and/or show me what the centre caps look like?

They are early mk3 VR6 spec up to 1995.

I see they don't really have a model name. Are they worth anything?

Not really, a lot of people prefer the later ones.

Oh i dunno, if they were ultra clean and with centre caps i think they could look quite good.

just seen some on ebay for 150quid with tyres and centre caps, seems a reasonable price to me. I wouldn't mind sourcing some caps and refurbing them as they could look awesome, but it would be a massive ballache due to the nature of the spokes

they look like a Martinez to me. Or perhaps a Pedro.

I think the name thing has worn a bit thin now. You all know what I meant  :huh:

I had them on my VR before the TT Speedlines.

Worth what someone is willing to pay.. not usually much though

Can you get new/replacement centre caps? They look pretty sweet with the centre caps imo  :cool:

I thought so too. I reckon with decent tyres and centre caps in good nick they're worth 150quid all day long considering things like RAs, and teardrops go for that if not more! And they're more common than these!

VR6_Wherry you wanna sell them? I really don't want to refurb mine as I don't have the patience!

RA's are a sought after wheel, these are not.
