Yeh I've always liked the look of those alloys. My neighbour has those on his A3. Anyone got any bricks?  :evil:

Snoops those aren't really for me tbo. I don't think they would suit the GTI however they do look nice on the Seats.

This from the man who put those 'rocco wheels on his Golf.  :tongue:
I think they will look super on the GTI.  :cool:

The masking would have to be 100% perfect to do this properly though. So it ain't going to be cheap.
I've seen Monza refurbs look pretty rubbish where the diamond cutter has not been set properly and has made the line where the polished bit meets the painted bit squiggly. I've even seen them where they have used a dremel to tidy up the squiggly line and made it worse!

A bit of info i think maybe useful in this BBS thread about BBS wheels and VW's from another thread on another forum.



There are some similar designs made by BBS:

- original BBS CH (MOTORSPORT): different sizes and bolt patterns (VAG 8x18 ET50)
- new BBS CH-R: dito
- cheaper BBS CO: without 'Motorsport'

VAG 5x112 only:

- BBS VZ033 (Votex/driver gear):   8x18 ET44
- VW Pescara/Rockingham (ED30):  7.5x18 ET51
- Audi A3 S-Line '14-spoke-design':  7.5x18 ET54
- Audi A4/A6 S-Line '14-spoke-design':  8x18 ET43
