Hi guys.
Planning on getting a set of VZ's, does anyone know if aftermarket wheel bolts are required? I.e. longer etc? or are the OE bolts sufficient?
Luke.
-
Best to take the wheel off, and put a bolt through each new and old wheel and then you will be able to see if there is much difference in length through the wheel, (does that sentence make any sense?) :laugh:

have you seen these? - http://www.wheelbasealloys.com/18_Inch_BBS_VZ_Titanium_Alloy_Wheels__3164

I was set on silver, but after seeing these :drool:
What'd you reckon on a pearl black motor?
-
Original bolts will be fine.
Stunning wheels, can highly recommend! :happy2:

i too was going to get the silver ones from rim style and have a pearl black motor - am thinking those will look good on a black car

Had a set of these, when it came to sell the Ed on, had to leave them on.
Great wheels, Best wheel on a MkV IMO bar none. Gives the car the correct stance, due to the slightly enhanced offset (44 mm on VZ IIRC).
-
Oh and PW's service was spot-on. :happy2:
-
any photo's with the anthracite ones on a DBP car floating about?
-
I'll fire him an email this morning to see if there's any possibility of a group buy :drinking:
any joy with pw fella?

Anyone got a photo of the titanium ones that wheel base are selling?
The pic on the website is rubbish.

No response dude, I'll fire off a few emails to some other distributers to see if there's anything they can do.

Wheelbase.co.uk are prepared to offer a discount on the wheels, waiting to here back what sort of discount they'll offer based on number then I'll get a deal going in the group buy section.

good spot, few quid cheaper as well
silver or titanium that is the conundrum :confused:
-
They are pescaras not VZ's, the centre caps look too small.

Steve is right. These pics show Pescaras, not VZ033. :wink:

Didn't know that PW Motorsport posted on here.
I rang them a couple of months back when I fancied some anthracite BBS wheels that they were advertising on ebay.
After a vague two minute phone call and noticing the phone info didn't really tally with their ebay items, I was told 'they're busy' can you ring back, as the phone got put down on me, I obviously never called back.
He might have been having a bad day, but it definitely worked well as "sales prevention".
Not slagging anyone off, just saying what happened. It was enough for me to go elsewhere.

Steve is right. These pics show Pescaras, not VZ033. :wink:
Perhaps the pictures are for illustration only? I pressume the Pescara's are made by BBS, do they carry a model number?
Also, what is the difference between the BBS CH and BBS VZ - visually they are very similar, but price wise there seems to be a huge difference......
EDIT: Found these on the bay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BBS-CH-ALLOY-WHEELS-18INCH-Genuine-set-VW-SEAT-AUDI-/280719826182?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item415c349d06 - correct me if I'm wrong, but they look like VZ's, not CH's as advertised?
-
There are some similar designs made by BBS:
- original BBS CH (MOTORSPORT): different sizes and bolt patterns (VAG 8x18 ET50)
- new BBS CH-R: dito
- cheaper BBS CO: without 'Motorsport'
VAG 5x112 only:
- BBS VZ033 (Votex/driver gear): 8x18 ET44
- VW Pescara/Rockingham (ED30): 7.5x18 ET51
- Audi A3 S-Line '14-spoke-design': 7.5x18 ET54
- Audi A4/A6 S-Line '14-spoke-design': 8x18 ET43
So the Ebay items seem to be the Audi A4 (8E)/ A6 (4F) ones or the offset is ET44
and they are VZ033. In no way they are original BBS CH.

Ordered a set of a titanium VZ's today, should hopefully have them on by tuesday/wednesday :party:
-
Make sure you put some pics up :happy2:
-
Not a great start, all 4 to be returned due to a poor paint finish, fish eyes all over the wheels :sad1:
-
I'm up for a group buy on these :happy2:!!
-
For those who are interested in the actual colour of the wheels:
First without any overhead lighting:

-
Now they came without any fish eyes?
This grey looks great !! :happy2:
-
Oh no now i don't know which ones i want after seeing the comparison :laugh:
-
The titanium is gorgeous - the finish looks lovely!
-

I'd like to say that it was because I'd have the titanium ones fitted now if it was the case. To cut a long story short, BBS aren't able to produce the wheels in that colour without any defects i.e. fish eyes etc which is a really shame.
-
eh, so if you get the titanium ones the finish wont be perfect? Is a "fish eye" just like a bubble on the paint? :confused:

That's the response I've had from both wheelbasealloys and BBS. All the wheels are being returned now as the second set of silver ones feature some significant damage. I don't want to put images up of the defects until the case has been resolved but once it is I'll share my findings.
Luke.
-
Are the grey ones factory painted by BBS?
I've never seen grey VZs outside of this thread and I thought
BBS (or the VW dealers cos the're VW original equipment) didn't
sell the VZ033 for some time.

Pardon me, but I don't get that. I wrote "polished VZ with PS2" and "silver painted VZ with WinterContact TS810 sport".
And then you ask if these are Pescaras . . . :stupid:

No Adam they look very similar but the Pescaras are 7.5J ET51
the BBS VZ'S are 8J with an offset of ET45 or could be 42???
I'm not sure about the centre caps.

8.0Jx18 ET44
