^^^^^ I'm afraid I beg to differ!!!
BBS RA are the standard 15" factory fitment alloys for a mk2 golf and look an awful lot more like the examples in this ebay auction:

Thanks for the replies guys and gal. Looks like mine will be RJ's. Does that ring bells with G60 fitment? Hard work methinks to keep them up to scratch. :sad:

That's them. I'm sure of it. Mine are a little tatty. Worth getting them refurbished or buy new? Also need new centre caps. Hard to come by or readily available?
Silly questions but I'm slightly out on a limb here, being in a different country.

If they are the same as the 14" versions then the centre caps are the same as those found on BBS RM's i believe, in other words expensive! I don't know what a refurb costs in Spain, but if it is anything like over here then i'm sure it will be a hell of a lot cheaper than buying new. It would cost around £170 to get all 4 refurbished over here, and that would be diamond cutting the spokes and rim, and painting inbetween the spokes so i'd imagine just a straight refurb would be a little cheaper.
