mine (16" BBS RS/RX2)'s are off a Polo.... 6.5J, but can still take 205mm width wheels and are within spec and I reckon they look pretty sweet.... only problem was that the offset is ET45 and needed to be ET30-ET38.... the track looked a little narrow, so I've got 15mm (H&R Trakplus) hubcentric spacers to take mine to ET30, which is still not that wide.... but add another £150+ for the spacers, so it's NOT a cheap option!

that auction is for one wheel only.... your car will look very silly with only one wheel ;)

ask him for the numbers off the inside of the wheel.... pretty sure that Polo GTI alloys shd be 16"....

   

BBS "RS764" = wheel make and model, "6/1/2J" (6.5J) = wheel width, 16H2 = 16", ET45 = offset

pls note: ET45 is 15mm-7mm too narrow (should be ET30-ET38).... since the wheel was already 12.5mm narrower than it was supposed to be 6.5J, not7J, I deciced to add the FULL 15mm back onto the offset....

That said, I was able to run these wheel straight away despite the ET45 offset (and I drove to Paris and back like that, not a prob!), but needed wheel spacers to make it look right...

smaller than 15" and you might hit probs on your brake caliper clearance... I know 15" was the smallest I was advised to go on mine....

Shadys wheels aren't splits so quite possibly have a different offset.

I'm also led to believe that his wheels originally came off of a Vauxhall Calibra :)

The did a Calibra DTM edition with the same non split wheels, offset on these is at least 40 to 45 however.
