Those BBS wheels look stunning......... to be cheeky I would say they look much better than the VMR's imo  :grin: :cool:

The finish of the wheels blends very nicely with the cars exterior plastic parts. Those are the best wheels I've seen to date on a red GTI.

p.s. and two bloody sets is just being greedy :wink:

Mine are not VMRs...
They are VW Racings 'Flashpoint' wheels.

I have considered lookinhg for a set of 19" BBS CHs for summer though...

I stand corrected :embarassed:

Out of interest how did you manage to come by two identical sets of BBS CH's?

No problem...I just wouldn't want to be taking credit for having VMRs when I don't!

I have contacts at VW Racing who offered me a set of CHs at a decent price...and being mindful of the fact that I may kerb one, so liking to keep at least one 'spare' in the same finish, I managed to convince them to let me have a second set too.

Then, just a tidy up, a fresh powder-coat in the same batch to make sure the finish is identical...and job done!

^ Love it..... however, buying two sets of identical wheels would only end up in divorce for me.  :grin:
