Need help with wheels
« on: 09 September 2011, 23:52 »
hi there, I want to get some new wheels for my mk3 but unsure what to get, I have been looking at Lenso BSX silver rims but heard a 50/50 about them. My budget is £650 any ideas? Thank you

i have them exact wheels mate and i love them. not had any problems at all with them. i have put BBS centre badges on them and they look good as you can see from my sig pic
if you do get them get the offset made at ET20 as they will sit perfectly flush with the arches like mine.

here is a link to where i got mine from for about £600 ish with tyres ready to fit including new wheel bolts.
ask them what the best price they can do for you is with 195 45 15 tyres is and they will get the price down as i hagled and get them at that price.

By the way the prices on that topgear site are not the price they say when you ring them up. Them web prices are atleast £100 cheaper than they actuly are when you ring them.

Problem I found was when I was looking for rims all the ones I wanted only came in 4 stud fitment so I settled for the lenso,s kinda wish I had searched abit more now but still I'm well happy with mine and they work perfect with the theme iv done on my car.
