Wow :shocked:

They look pretty tasty :drool:

Those wheels look brilliant.
Where can I get a set - I cant seem to find anywhere selling them?? Do they have the white rim as standard?
I really want a set of black or dark grey wheels - but not sure on which style to get.

That place came up alot when I was searching google - but I couldnt see those wheels!
How I've tried again and its taken me to the BBS website - so I'm assuming I can phone/email them for a quote.
The RIM PROTECTOR... does that mean if I accidently kerbed it I can just replace a bit of the wheel rather than buying a new one?!

Just looking through the BBS site and the new BBS CM's look stunning.
I wonder what they'd look like on a GTI though :undecided:

http://www.rimstyle.com/pages/products/product_detail.html?category=wheel_tyre_packages;type=bbs_ch;manufacturer=bbs;model=974;id=BBSCHBS1880511250

they did have black listed a few weeks ago
-
Ive just given Rimstyle a call as they a customer of mine. They have a couple of pallets of BBS CH's on the way and should get them in a couple of weeks.
Can anyone photo shop the black ones onto a black GTI???? Looking at a set of 18's :evil:

i know, put your monza II's on her yellow beetle in the photo, will make the bug look half decent then and go buy the other wheels!!.
-
I think the Beetle has 5x100 PCD :wink:
-
I was thinking that... :smiley:
-
it is, but you can get replicas in 5x100 and they look pretty cool on a beetle, saw a red 1 in 1 of the magazines with them on and it looked top

Here's a photoshop effort of my Steel Grey 3dr ED30 with the Black CH's on.
I think it looks prety cool, but my girlfriend thinks they look 'chavy'! She also says that I like them now, but I'll change my mind in a few weeks!
Opinions please?!?!

They don't stand out as much on the silver alloys though Joe :wink:
Anyway, I thought you were still looking for some gold centre caps? :undecided:
-
no i wanted black ones but NOBODY has them, i saw some at awesome that would fit perfect but they came with the wheels and they said they cant get em seperate :cry: but seriously, now my cars sat right and nice and clean the red caps look quite :cool: and alot more people are using them on golf and audi's as BBS are supplying them with a few different models. :smiley:
-
:shocked: They look even better than I thought they would! Can't wait to see them on the car!!!
Oh, black centre caps. Would be good if you could get the BBS logo in red on a black background.............

Hi, look nice those, 2 questions, did you have to buy the spiggot rings ?, or has the seller provide them FOC, and are those red badges genuine BBS, as in are they branded on the inside, its just they dont seem to fit as they should in this picture ?
-
I think ive just done a bit of man wet! These rims are bloody fantastic, I really want to get myself a set but cant justify it at the moment. I cant wait to see your pics of them fitted!
-
What are spiggot rings ?
-
What are spiggot rings ?
they fit inside the alloy to give correct fitment onto the hub
-
they didn't have spigot rings with them, asked the seller and he didn't know what they were and he defo didn't have any, gave it they're not in the listing blah blah blah.
I know he should've supplied them with the wheels but decided to source them myself so I can get them fitted quicker, you know how these things can drag out on ebay
have a set ordered from PW motorsport, hoping they come tomorrow, will get picks up of them on the car tomorrow all going well
yes i much prefer the black badges too although the red ones are pretty rare and they do have a BBS part number on the back of them so are genuine but probably not made for CHs

AH OK, What did philip charge for the spiggots ?, and i believe the Red badges are a japanese market only badge, but are a genuine BBS item
ps, so i assume you think the alloys are kosha ?
-
think it's about £34 for the spigot rings inc. postage
yes i'm certain they are genuine BBS
don't think any of the reps come in ET50 or have BBS and the part number stamped on them
had a set of CHs on my MK4 and i'm pretty sure they had the same markings on the inside
don't know the traders story but i think he must have got a few sets of unfinished wheels from somewhere because i don't think anybody would strip back silver wheels to paint them black and sell them for less than what silver ones should go for
here's another couple of pics for any doubters

-
they do look good, im not doubting the seller, its just odd he can sell 18" ch's for over £200 less than anyone else, and also repaint them (probably £200 for repsray too)
-
Can some kind person explain the ET part to me please ! :smiley:

Brian g did you go for the wheels from Amair 786 ? For some reason my computer does nt display most of the photos posted on this forum. Anyhow I am contemplating replacing my 18 " factory alloys for the black/red bbs alloys and if spiggot rings are required what size or spec do I ask for ?
-
They look amazing, really suited to a red car. Good choice. :cool:
-
I don't like em, I dont like em, I dont like em......ahh fiddle its not working, I fekkin love these rims! :tongue:

phillip at pw motorsport will know which to send you, just ring him :cool: , and yes he got them from Amair

they do look very good
-
I didn't think I'd like them, but I really like em. Wonder what they would look on a grey car in 19"

sorry in the minority, i dont like black rims on a red car. Each to their own i supose. I could of had black rockinghams but decided with pescara's.
Thats a standard RED GTi isnt it with lots of mod's. The rear lower bumper is the only giveaway. :wink:

That looks nice... I wonder how it would look with the front VW badge in black and the GTI In red on the front and the rear VW / GTI in black. I'm sure some could mock one up in Photoshop.

thanks for the comments guys, mostly possitive
it's hard to make as big a visual impact as the Monzas, i don't think they do to be honest it's a totaly different look and can understand why some people just wont like them
the spigot rings from PW motor sport were the wrong ones, managed to source a set localy from Motorsport Wheels for £10 so problem solved in the end
-
Aye thats looks smart mate, as martin said colour code the badge to finish it off.
-
They look mint mate :cool:
Really good on the red car too. It is definitely a car colour specific mod though :cool:
-
The wheels compliment the car very well :cool: good job.
-
i have a couple of red GTi badges so will change the front one, not sure what to do with the back one
would love a carbon fibre front VW badge but might paint it black until i can get one
a bit confused about the comments of the car being an 05
i colour coded the kit to make the car look better not to hide it's age/make it look like an ED30
i think VW got the rear valance totaly wrong with the GTi
sorry if that's not what you meant
-
....A black VW badge definitely suits a red GTI imo. Also, it's a tradition going back to Mk1's.
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b308/RedRobin_05/FakeGTI_front.jpg)
I agree with Phil - I personally don't like black alloys on a red car and I also think that the Monza 18's are as important stylistically to the Mk5 GTI as the red grill stripe and Interlagos cloth. But, Brian's red GTI nonetheless looks good overall.
In years to come, we're going to see a lot of modded Mk5's methinks!
Gaz - I think your missus is a lady of taste - Your Steel Grey Ed30 looks best with the silver grey alloys it's got.
:cool:
