C'mon kyle!!1 I didn't think I'd have to put the [sarcasm] tags around the name!!

Truthfully, I've never heard of anyone knowing the name...that is just my special nickname.
Maybe this also hints at them not being manufactured by BBS. But why would VW outsource to a different manufacturer for one wheel for one year?!

Ahh yes,...the infamous 1995 BBS Uglies.

I've come to not mind them AS much as I used to, but in the overall scheme of all wheels...I hate them with a passion.
better pic...

I wanted to powdercoat them gold or bronze for a bit now, did a pshop of it and it looked pretty good. Despite this, or whatever else you do to them, the fact still remains IMO that these are just horribly ugly stockies.
