Title: What wheels?
Post by: giorgio1712 on 04 November 2007, 16:16

I've been trawling the internet for ages looking for a set of wheels and just can' make my mind up. I did really want some BBS from Justmatz but then found out there about £1300. I can't get any BBS from Egay as I can't pick them up as I live in Guernsey. Any one got any ideas/pictures for inspiration, mines a small bumper 1989 gti 8v in Oak Green if that helps at all.

I was considering new wheels, but have decided to stick with the factory fitted RA's.  Perhaps you could have yours reconditioned?  Alternatively, how about either of these two, which I consider to be very nice on the Mk2:

Ronal LS (cheap BBS):

Estorils:

I really like the look of the Ronal's, this will probably sound stupid but could I just put BBS centers on them? I could tell my mates they're bbs!  :wink:

You would be living a lie!   :laugh:   BBS centres prob won't fit anyway. Be proud of the ronals!

PS... There really cheap on dubmeister.co.uk

Go for the Ronals, they look great and only about £100 each brand new :smiley:

the ronals do look good, but then so do the estorials (polished of course  :wink: )

And if you do lower it, you can fit 9" RS's on the back and 8.5's on the front!! :wink:

What are "RS's" and how is this possible?

I might just go with the Ronals.

Please remove yourself from this site! :wink: :laugh:

BBS RS, quite possibly the best wheel in the world, and easily made wider, and wider..............

Do a google search for them.
