Hi guys, been after a set of BBS RS, or similar alloys for a while now, but nothing is coming up lately.
The closest set I have seen are these:

Problem being that htey only do 16s.
Would this look gash on my MK5, or can anone reccomend some nicer wheels, that are similar to these please?
Thanks.

17's look too small so I'd say 16's would look silly sorry
-
That seems to be the fashionable mod on the continent, seen a lot of Golfs from Belgium running on 14"s..............look nasty imo, bigger is better! :happy2:
-
Love the lenso bsx, shame it dont come bigger than 16" :sad1:

How about these bad boys?

I'd steer clear of those lenso's they look silly cheap when next to some rs's! There's a set of blue 17" rs's on eBay that look nice! Dan's also running a set exactly the same.
How much you want to spend?

Had not spotted them Joe, but not keen on the colour TBH, so that would set me back a couple hundred to sort out, and then a couple hundred more for the centres, would spend up to £1k really,

Wouldn't fancy cleaning them :wink:

@ Al: The 16" Polo GTI Alloys would fit on a GTI - they're even the same design.
Those 16" and loooooooooooowwwwwww was one option I was looking at...? although I keep thinking 19", instead... :evilgrin:

OK, so spoke to a place off e bay about the Calibre alloys, and they say that these will not fit my GTI, does anyone know different to this?
Also, chatting to the guy off e bay with the blue BBS RS alloys, will these just fit in place, or is much work required.

Big al you cannot fit RS to your car unless you do lots of work.
You need to learn what will fit first and what the limits are before you consider buying any alloys. Those Rs will be so wide you could sit on the tyre at shows. :wink:

That's the look I want, tea party on the alloys!
Cheers for that mate, Alloys and the fitments are the main thing that confuse me on cars, Will start looking for other options,
