When I had my BBS VZ 033s everyone said they looked too small on the mk6 despite the fact they looked perfect on the mk5 I had before. I think it must be to do with the fat bumpers on the mk6 GTI as the side profile of the car is otherwise almost identical for obvious reasons.
BBS VZ 033s for those that don't know were a special wheel BBS did for the mk5 Golf that had most of the looks of the CH but didn't have the Motorsport logos similar to the CO. The Pescara is very similar to the CO and thus the VZ 033 (still awake?
) but has a different width, offset and colour.
The VZ 033 comes in size 8x18 in ET44 (so very similar dimensions to an Interlagos) and the Pescara is 7.5x18 and ET51. You would need to run at least 10mm spacers on a Pescara on the rear axle or it would look sh!te. The Monza just about gets away without the spacer visually because of the very flat face that actually sits a bit proud of the tyre unlike most wheels which sort of sit into the tyre in a slight dish. Go and look at your Interlagos to see the slight dish then look at the Monza which has a slight lip by the tyre but then instead of bending inwards in profile it carries on almost straight for a few inches before it bends inwards as you gradually get towards the centre of the wheel. This probably makes absolutely no sense to anyone reading it but
I know what I mean
So as not to bore you any further here's the VZ 033 pics:
Suited this car much better
