Title: BBS alloys
Post by: JezGTI on 06 November 2003, 16:08

I've got a 91 GTi with steel rims, anyone know where can I get 4 original style BBS 15" alloys from, are they still available?

yeah - 150 quid a corner  for newish BBS (available at most shows )

or 100 for a scruffy/average set - but they seem to be going up in the second hand market as demand increases

:o

I knew they were worth good money, but not that much, and would that be including tyres?
The 15" BBS RA's on my GTI have been restored and are as new, although for that sort of money I'd be tempted to sell'em!
Also if I was using mine as a daily driver I'd take them off, they look great but are a pain to keep clean...

I've seem them at GTi National and were being sold 'as new' for 150 a corner NO tyres.


I thought they had stopped making them (like the RM and RS) but I could be wrong - anyone????


I bought my set with tyres for 95 quid three years ago.

But like I said - you go and check the classified/ebay and they seem to go for more than that.

I say shop around

GPC in Luton sell these alloys brand new. They are ?160+Vat each without centre caps (which they stock too), no tyres either obviously. Makes me very paranoid, particularly after someone stole the noe obsolete Golf GTI badge off the back of my car...
