im just curious ive seen them on a few mk2's before are they a good wheel i think thi sstyle looks quite good on lowered mk3's too the dish looking style,
are these rare now? or does anyone have similar designs on there cars

really like the ls style too
also what are these types of wheels worth does the offsets matter that much or affect handling, i want to go for a deep dish or like one i first put but dont know if theres any pitfalls when buying and how much is a good price and what to pay for different variations as i guess some are rarer than others

Think the first set are a bit :sick:
The rest are pretty cool though
-
ronal turbo's are cool, not rare though as they are still being made. not sure how they'd look on a mk3? might look a bit too small maybe? offset wise mk3's need about a 30-35 i think before you need to worry about scrubbing.
bbs always look cool but they are also always expensive. don't know whats happenning with prices at the moment but they do seem to be going up again.

Ronal turbos will look naff on a Mk3.
If ya wanna be a sheep then go with the BBS - If ya feel like being different take a look at Compomotive CXN's
-
ronals only really suit mk2s imo
bbs's look good but like len said, theyre everywhere.
trying to think of a make of alloy, someone on here might know where they actually have the wheel size lettered on the face of the alloy? look like merc 5 star alloys, im lookingt for a pic now
-
By the way they won't fit your gti as thats 5x100 fitment!!! and all them wheel's are 4x100

If you need to see a picture of these wheels on a mk2 to take a look at item number
260137218959 on ebay.I think they look smart :nerd:

I was gonna point that out.
You didn't say specifically which car you want them for as you mentioned that the Ronal's look good on Mk2s (which they do), but then you mention that they offset for a Mk3.
You have a Mk3 in your sig. So all those wheels are the wrong fitment for a Mk3 GTI (which is 5 stud).
If you want BBS, look for the Anniversary wheels or the BBS that came on some late Mk3 VR6s.

Schmidt TH Lines for me.

Not as common as BBS :tongue: but look the mutts nuts. I like them even better than the TH Monos on my Rallye and I love my Monos ! :laugh:
I have seen Monos on a mk3 and they look good too.

well done, thats the dish type i meant i was looking for i saw some like that the other day, dunno why i put ronal turbos up, i think i put it up a sa rough design idea
-
There's not much of a dish on the TH monos though. I love the full faced type alloys. :cool:
Mono's look like this on a car.

-
I bet there were a lot more BBS RSLMTGHJSRX 0012789s though ! :tongue: I'd actually like some BBS but I really, really, reallllllllllllly couldn't be @rsed keeping up to cleaning them.
