what do people think of these wheels?
« on: 09 July 2007, 02:26 »
im just curious ive seen them on a few mk2's before are they a good wheel i think thi sstyle looks quite good on lowered mk3's too the dish looking style,
are these rare now? or does anyone have similar designs on there cars

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170067221802&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RCRX_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT&refitem=170055696917&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=active_view_item&usedrule1=CrossSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget

really like the ls style too

also what are these types of wheels worth does the offsets matter that much or affect handling, i want to go for a deep dish or like one i first put but dont know if theres any pitfalls when buying and how much is a good price and what to pay for different variations as i guess some are rarer than others

ronal turbo's are cool, not rare though as they are still being made. not sure how they'd look on a mk3? might look a bit too small maybe? offset wise mk3's need about a 30-35 i think before you need to worry about scrubbing.

bbs always look cool but they are also always expensive. don't know whats happenning with prices at the moment but they do seem to be going up again.

Ronal turbos will look naff on a Mk3.

If ya wanna be a sheep then go with the BBS - If ya feel like being different take a look at Compomotive CXN's

ronals only really suit mk2s imo

bbs's look good but like len said, theyre everywhere.

trying to think of a make of alloy, someone on here might know where they actually have the wheel size lettered on the face of the alloy? look like merc 5 star alloys, im lookingt for a pic now

I was gonna point that out.
You didn't say specifically which car you want them for as you mentioned that the Ronal's look good on Mk2s (which they do), but then you mention that they offset for a Mk3.
You have a Mk3 in your sig. So all those wheels are the wrong fitment for a Mk3 GTI (which is 5 stud).
If you want BBS, look for the Anniversary wheels or the BBS that came on some late Mk3 VR6s.
