So I've finnally gave up on looking for a set of Prets for the R, so gonna get a set of 19' BBS CH-Rs instead, hope to order today.
I actually phoned to order a set of Glosss Antracite this morning but there now all sold :angry:, so my 2 options are:
Satin Anthracite or Brilliant Silver (Both of which have a stainless lip protector thingy)
I'm rather undecided and need some opinions on what would look best on a 3 Door Red R :undecided:
Cheers

They look far nicer than Prets in my opinion.
I think the darker wheels have a bit more about them.
Question....are they genuine BBS alloys?
If not, I wouldn't bother.

Really like the style of the wheels but asking which one we all like just opens it up to personal preference and it will just come back full circle to you to decide for self :wink:
But we all like this kinda thing to, and for me its the Satin Anthracite every time on this type of spoke wheel.

Yes Andrew they are the ones I went to order this morning (Gloss Anthracite) now sold out :sick:
BTW, yes genuine BBS, I don't do replicas :nerd:

Have you checked Wheelbase?

No but I just found an eBay seller in Germany selling them for the same price :smiley: :smiley:, clicky click get them ordered.
Now just to source my own tyres, are Toyo T1 Sports any good ?

The darker definitely do it for me.
Whilst mine's white, (and a GTI) I'm sure it gives you an idea of darker wheels on a Mk7 Golf...

Can't remember the exact name but is the German ebay seller Reifen (can't remember the last name) - the contact I had was a bloke called Stefan who was very helpful and spoke beeter than average english. If so, they were spot on with me.
Edit - let me know if the photo worked as I can't see it from work.

If I could have afforded them I'd have gone for CH's too - the SR's that I have are considered the 'budget' BBS wheel and as such are heavier than the CH's but I just love the way they look!
My only proviso is that they may take a few days longer than they quote for postage and the 2 packages (of 2 wheels each) turned up on different days (with parcel force) but if you're in no major rush, it's no problem - just saves you panicking if they don't turn up when expected.

I have to say they really look the business on the white GTI,
Great choice!
-
Love this style of wheel, yours looks class Gnasher, I'd go with the darker set, especially on a white car.

i have never been a fan of silver wheels, anthracite all the way and the BBS are a classic
I think you need to ditch the chrome mirrors and lip

I never had chrome mirrors, black caps from factory.
Although I would like the front lip wrapped!!

I'd go with the the Anthracite with TR, especially if you've got black mirrors. :cool: Don't like brilliant silver wheels much and even less so on Red.
