BBS LM's

[pw motorsport]

Genuine BBS LM`s are only available in a ET32mm, not suitable for the MK5 Golf.

You need a an offset of ET50mm for the MK5.

I'm really happy that I opted to pay more and get the matte black.  Nothing against the glossy look, but the matte looks sweet to me.

....That rear spoiler looks better in matt black carbon than glossy imo. Suits the 3-door version better than 5-dr I think, having tried one on my GTI.

...and davefish, btw, these wheels are sweet!   Morr VS8 Forged Alloys    Saw your post on the other forums, and just wanted to say they look super nice!

Thank you for the info and pics bud, much appreciated. It looks great in that close up picture. I was slightly concerned it may look “stuck on” and not very OEM but I think that confirms otherwise. It looks great in matte on your car (I have matte rear valance and front splitter on my R32) but I think I'd go for fibreglass and have it sprayed blue to match the body.

I hope I can get the Morr VS8’s. They are having problems with the machined finish at the moment which is delaying things. I’ve proved the demand is there, just need Morr to give the green light on the engineering for a VW fitment. I’m confident a group buy post will be going up soon.

Cool, I hope everything works out with the wheels!  Any idea if they'll clear a Brembo 355 kit?

My old LM reps when they were on the car.  19x8.5 et45 - 225/35/19 all the way around:

That, my friend, is a f*cking gorgeous example of a Golf...!

No idea at all. Morr wouldn't know this either yet, it's too early. They will have to cope with R32 breaks if that's any help.

That's cool for now!  I think the calipers on the Brembos are a little bigger than the R32's, but not too sure on that!  Thanks!

Manu, If the LM reps don't work out. What about a set of "Work VSXX" 19x8.5 ET45?
