I saw the bbs madras off of the b5.5 passat and was wondering if anyone is running those? I tried searching but i came up with nothing. If it's possible some pictures of powdercoated madras as well. thanks http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

im guessing b5.5 is 5x112.
FWIW, they look alot like montreal II's, which are 5x100.

Re: FV-QR (yeayeayea)

i thought they looked similar. IMO i just havent found a car that looked nice with the montreal ii's but i saw one mk3 jetta with the madras. I know i could search for montreal ii's but if there's any cars that stand out with nice montreal ii's i'd like to see them

Whew, when I read the title I thought this thread was going to be about some ****face that wanted thoughts on painting his RS's like this

hahahaha.

are those things legit 2-piece?

Re: FV-QR (EggsErroneous)

99% sure they are legit 2-piece. A buddy has a similar set of BBS 2-piece that utilize that same face/bolt/barrel design.

Re: FV-QR (son of planrforrobert)

[yeayeayea]

FV-QR

Re: FV-QR (yeayeayea)

[roly_vr6]

Re: FV-QR (yeayeayea)

Passat OEM is 5x112 and they are 2 piece
mine are 5x100 one piece!!
more pics of mine

Re: FV-QR (roly_vr6)

i'm not worried about 2 piece. where did you get your 5x100 1 piece set and what did they cost you? I'm very interested

 

[B-Tower]

Re: FV-QR (B-Tower)

also, do they come in 16's at all? i'd prefer a little more sidewall on the tire

 

[roly_vr6]

Re: FV-QR (B-Tower)

they only come 17x7.5
I got them on a friend's store @ PR but you could search google and look for any store that have it on 5x100.
I paid new in box almost $1000 without tires... now I think they could be like $800+ -

 

[B-Tower]

Re: FV-QR (roly_vr6)

oh okay. Can you run a bigger sidewall at all on the 17's?

 

[B-Tower]

Re: FV-QR (B-Tower)

or is that small sidewall as big as you can go?

I know this thread is old, but did you have any luck putting these on your MK3? I just found a set on Craigslist and they are the 17x7.5 off the W8 passat, trading my b3 for a mk3 GTI and want to put them on after I refinish them.. Let me know how you made out if you don't mind
