2 or 4 imo.
Not sure if the BBS are genuine though, that seems a but cheap to me, also the centre bore is huge, you need 57.1 or an adapter/spigot to fit them.
HTH, Lee.

cheer mate thank for the reply. so what CB should i be going for? thanks
-
what colour is your golf?
-
Yeah I would be very surprised if they are genuine bbs, are usually over double that price, if you really wanted those wheels there are usually loads of reps like that on eBay for the price and ones where you wouldn't have to use wobble bolts to fit,

I'm pressuming that posting on a MK5 Golf site you have either a Golf MK5 or a vehicle from that platform, in which case the CB is 57.1. :happy2:
As Patrick has said, what colour is your car? The darker wheels look spanking on white and red, imho of course.

The BBS are not genuine. When ever the word 'style' is used in the description it means they are replicas.
My choice would be between 2 and 4 also but it would depend on the color of your car (assume its a MK5 Golf).

Number 4 are the only ones that look like they'll fit with no messing. The Omanyt reps have a PCD of 120, the CH reps are 114 and the Monza reps are 8.5J, so they may rub. The descriptions are all over the place, too. The R36 reps say they're both 19s and 18s depending on where you look and the Monza reps say they're for a mk4 in the title, but have the wrong PCD for a mk4!

Number 4!

remeber though most after market wheels won't come with the exact centre bore they will be supplied with spigot rings to suit your car
-

Also remember that you with a 7" wide alloy you will want around a 45-51 (51 is standard) offset and the wider you go, the lower the offset will need to be to balance the outer rim with the inner rim. :smiley:
Don't go near anything that is wider than 8.5" and even then you may get rubbing if you are lowered.

its just what im looking for but cant find any good one. want them in black with the red ring. just dont want to order them and then find out they dont fit! thanks
