opinions on BBS RS771 (or RS772)

Nice wheels but are too small for a Mk4 really

cheers all - some really good feedback

i had originally thought they were RX2's but then did an ebay search the other week which just came up with polo ones, and i stumbled across a 5x100 set which claimed to be RS771's, and then when i did a google images search it came up with loads of the right ones. I'm not doubting what everyone is saying, just airing what i noticed when searching

i know what you all mean about them looking a tad too small on a mk4 though - I'm kind of stuck in a catch 22 though as want to stick with the oem look, but don't have the budget for a set of anni's

as for santa monica's - i had considered them (and even bid on a set a while back), but as mine currently has 5 spoke alloys on, i just fancied something a bit different (last few cars have been 5 spoke alloys tbh - corrado, and 206 gti 180 - and before anyone asks, yes I'm gutted that i sold my corrado!)

will keep my eyes open over the next few weeks and see what i can find - not seen any anni's on ebay under £400 for genuine in a while and tbh thats normally starting price.

They are RX2's 100% but you can get non split rims as well, size wise 18"s needed on a mk4 really.

cheers Wayne. i have found myself a nice set of them which i picked up today. they have just been refurbished and look quite nice, so will update the post with a picture when i get a chance to put them on over the weekend.

going to have to disagree with wayne here the ones in the picture you posted are RS771. RX2 rim bolts are closer together. Nothing to tell them apart really once they're bolted on but the number will be stamped in the back of the wheel.

the ones I have got are RS771 (stamped on them) and I'm really happy with them, but there didn't look to be much difference when you view them on cars (or in pictures)

cheers everyone for the help though.

Thanks for the info  I never knew what the difference was.
