Which should it be???

SpdRAYcr · Dec 2, 2001

Trying to figure out which wheels to get. Looking for a more modern looking version of the VW Snowflakes. Add choices, if you know of any others.
*edit* Cut and paste. Isn't working how I thought it would.
*edit* I know the BBS's seem to be the favorite but, I am having a very difficult time finding them in the right fitment (16 x 7.5 or so and 4 x 100). The smallest I've found is 17 x 7.5 (way too big) and 5-lug.
*edit* Don't vote for the BBS's. I've decided I like them the best, however, I can't get them in the right size.

15 inch? The ones that came on late Mk2 GTI's? Pics? In case you didn't notice, the rims I'm polling for opinions on are all a split 7-spoke design. Like Snowflakes. That's the pattern of wheel I'm wanting. I do, however, really like the BBS wheels on late Mk2 GTI's. Let me know.

I like the Racer's, too. I've heard that hey're kinda heavy, though.

Re: Which should it be??? (Chapel)

By, "6 rims and 5 outer lips," do you mean that you have 5 complete rims and one that needs a new outer lip?

Chapel · Dec 6, 2001

Re: Which should it be??? (SpdRAYcr)

no
6 full rims with lips
PLUS 5 additional outer lips (as they are two piece rims)
4 of the full rims are straight
1 is slightly off
1 is bent
so 2 of 6 arent perfect, but the lips are all straight more or less (just not polished)

As much as I'd like to get those wheels from you, I don't have nearly enough money to give you an offer for them. I'm afraid any offer I could muster up would be an insult. So, out of respect, I'll not post an offer. If you have them 'round springtime, I might be able to swing a reasonable offer. Thanks, anyway.
