They look like Ronal R46 Silvers  :smiley:
For Vans? :evil:
But they'll look good but not as attractive or distinctive as BBS alloys.

Ah, ok. Thanks. Look nearly similar. These don't have 'inner' spokes.
Put a question mark now on my post.
Mainly to help Jim make his choice.  :smiley:

Too big and too many spokes for my liking that one.



I was in corbridge today were some of the better off people live. So got to see a few GTIs/R's
There was a black mk6 GTI with monza shadows and an edition 30 with oem wheels more or less next to each other. As i was sitting in the traffic i was looking back and forth at them both. The shadows looked too halfords shop window in the very bright sunshine were the BBS looked v.good imo.

You going to part with your money then?

I know where this is going .... 'the 17" Monzas don't look so Halfords .......'
More Asda IMO.  :evil:
