anniversary mk3 s

[luckycharms]

I am running 205 45 16's and it's great handling. I believe the original wheels are a must on Anni's. It's like the heart of the car and the most valuable part of an Anni which is why sadly quite a few get changed 

I got mine with some crappy looking 17" RS8 replicas, tracked down a set of refurbed BBS's with tires for £250. Couldn't believe the difference in handling between the 17s which rubbed like hell too, and the correct offset 16s... Was like a different car overnight.
Be careful what kind of refurb is done, to be honest mine weren't refurbed to a super high standard, and I've a feeling I'll be forking out again for another refurb...

I wish people would stop calling BBS RXIIs split rims - they are not.
They are 2 piece.
The rim is NOT split like on an BBS RS, the rim is one piece, the centre another.

I've re-furbed 6 sets of RXIIs in the past (still own 4 sets of 7" wide Anni RXIIs) and they can cost you £350-400 to refurb properly yourself...so paying £500-600 for a good, straight, properly re-furbed set is a pretty good price.
Anything less is a bargain in my eyes.

Been looking for quotes to get mine done by reputable companies, and some companies don't even want to touch them. Been advised about snapped bolts and a removal fee of £5 per bolt broken and knowing my luck every bolt on every wheel will break.

Found this for the benefit of anyone else as they look pretty good:

I'd need to get another set of wheels and tyres as I can't have the car off road as its my daily so I might as well buy a full set outright! Quite hard to find RXII's so people here seem to have found some good bargains

I've had two of my wheels fully refurbished recently for £200 which included removing tyres and refitting and balancing. I left my car with them and it was completed in one day. I thought this was a lot of money and I am sure people will say I have been ripped off and could of got them done for a fraction of the cost but they have been done to a high standard and will be getting the other two done in the future.

Unfortunately I have kerbed one of them already tho.
