Iv decided not to sell my car as my dad has convinced me there is no point in doing so. Iv decided to try and gather things for the car so when the Guarantee finishes i can just fit them on the car. Popped into the local wheel and tyre shop in Gibraltar and enquired about the BBS CH, they have quoted me over £2500 for a set of 19" and have told me i will need to wait over six months, then aswell that price is without tyres...does it sound about ridiculous or is that the normal sort of price im looking at for a set of BBS in that size? Could any one gimme any websites where i could just order them?

German Ebay is always good for BBS, item number 8048770172 are 19" BBS CH with tyres for Audi A3 8P, the same offset and pattern as the Mk5 GTi, says they will despatch worldwide and stock is available, mail them and see if they can satisfy your requirements :smiley:

If you could make do with "mere" 18"s then what about these

Would there be much difference from 18" to 19" and...is that price per wheel or for a set :smiley:
-
There's some gloss black BBS CH 19's with a red rim on the ebay.de site.Tempted to bid for them myself for my S3!

Set of 4 alloys without tyres.
You get a better ride on 18"s and not much difference IMO from 19's

In my humble opinion, you would be a f*cking nutcase to spend that kind of money on 19" rims. What would you gain, other that more expensive wheels that wont make the car worth any more money (which I'm sure you dont give a f*ck about) and will just give you a crap ride. if you had £2500 spare, go and buy some proper worthwhile mods, like an engine re-map, new exhaust, suspension, etc etc. Unless you are a total chav tw*t, why bother with big wheels? :evil:
-
2007GTI - you don't have to be a "chav tw*t" as you so succinctly put it to want a set of 19"... perhaps he just wants to individualise his car to his own taste :smiley:
Having bought my car with 19" BBS CH's fitted I can safely say that the ride is not compromised. I swapped mine for some 18" Monza II but that was because I prefered the "stock" look in that respect... however seeing what Rob-Mk5 has done with them I have to say "wow" - a superb example of how to individualise your car and still maintain style.
-
Got to agree with 2007GTI, although I dont think he would look a "chat tw*t". If I had £2500 spare I would be doing engine, exhaust and suspension mods rather than new wheels. Again as in most cases its all down to what the individual wants to do with their money, all we can offer is our opinion. If you the wheels mate, get them.
-
Nah!Get the big wheels on!
-
Gotta go for looks as im 18 and insurance wont be to happy if they hear im doing performance mods....And im Not a Chav twit! Just trying to be Unique around Gibraltar! It doesnt hurt to be different :cool:
-
Go for the rims. :grin:
Try VWVortex. Those people are constantly changing rims and suspension etc. they could probably hook you up cheaper...
I saw a caddy yesterday with RS4 Rims... What about a pair of those on your black GTI? :evil:

I hate the Focus ST in that orange, but for some reason, no idea why, I think the MK5 looks tasty in that orange. Nice rims on it and all.
-

Yeahhh i got the pics The Porsche Rims look fat!!! And im sure you could get a me better pic of the AMG rims!!! :evil:
-
The normal 18" Monza II and the Pescaras look better than any of them IMHO. Next for me would be BBS CH's...
The ones fitted to the white GTi in your pictures totally ruin the car... especially when coupled with the "slammed" suspension... just plain awful.

Agree with the first pic of the white car but it seems like hes going for that "euro" look, The Monza's and Pescaras look nice but just wanna try be different :smiley: I guess you just need to get used to seeing different things around, and....all to their own taste :)

Why didnt the fella with the orange golf with balck rims just buy a Focus ST? :undecided:

Cos he knows the difference between a piece of high class, refined and iconic hothatch and a cheap a$$ rubbish quality Ford? :smiley:

But then tries everything to make aforementioned germany class looklike a chavtastic ST?
-
:grin: :grin:
It was a GTI Farenheit. It comes in that orange. :kiss:
The rims are extras and I would not say that its chavtistic like a Ford. You might offend the Vortex who love the car :evil:3
Oh ya.
That car has won a few awards at shows (Could the owner please correct me if Im wrong?)
Besides. I dont see tacky ST badges all over it :sick:
-
ST is not as bad as you may think. It handles better than GTI, it also sounds more interesting. It looks more boy-racer than GTI and does not reach the quality feel of GTI, but it is chaper to buy.
Would I change my Ed30 for ST? No-damn-way.
-
The pics posted here just makes me, if possible, even more convinced that Ed30 should be 3-door. 5-door version has tooo much of "family car"-look.
-
St is the GTI's rival.
Ok. Some reports do state its more fun to drive. But you expect that in a Ford thats been slapped together in half a month (You dont see a waiting list for the ST do you?)
Its sound. I have never heard one but from whatever reports I have read it apparently sounds good. IMO I still think the GTI has a stunning sound. compared to the Bmw's we have had and even our old VR6. The GTI just sounds class.
Then the actual finish. GTI has been in production for 30 years. Ford Focus? Maybe 4 or 5? (Im not to sure)
The interiors? GTI wins. Overall the GTI is still the hothatch and no matter what magazine you read. They always report liking the Ford more. But still the GTI just wins. (They may not actually state this but you get that impression).
I agree completely with you Peskarik. But the point remains. The GTI is an icon. If reporters over the world (jeremy Clarkson for example) say that itds the most awesome car he has ever driven. Then you cant really compare.
And hell no. The GTI is here to stay!
P.S- This post contains no bias, prejudice and does not intend to offend anyone :evil:)
-
Could I just possibly make a statement?
Im not posting these pics to create a discussion about how bad someones car looks, or how good. Im posting purely to help Man_GTI choose new rims and maybe give him some creative ideas. :nerd:
-
Indeed - each to their own... I was stating my opinion :rolleyes:
I am all for mods to individualise your car, especially when done tastefully (a la the Rob-Mk5's quite white GTi)... mind you, taste is of course subjective :evil:

True. :rolleyes:
I like the white wabbit but only from the back and I think that orange GTI looks awesome.
-
Shot me down for being an idiot but whats the deal with the "2.5" on the back of the White GTi?
-
:evil:
In America they get the Jetta and the "Wabbit" with 1.6 and 2.0 and then also a GLI Spec which has a 2.5 litre engine.
I think. Last time I checked that was the story. came as a shock to me too.
You know the Americans. Always gotta be bigger and faster (and fatter)
:rolleyes: :evil:
-
And its not a GTI.
Its a standard Golf or what they call the Rabbit with a R32 skirt and then other rims.
Its no GTI!
