So what do you guys think... so far ive played it safe and think bbs (well rep's :ashamed: )
Cheers in advance!!!!

BBS Replicas are what i would go for. There were some nice ones on ebay,they were like the bbs ch even down to the motor sport around the stud holes.Just search under bbs alloys. :wink: :happy2:
-
cheers yeah i like the look of them seen them on a 3 series for years and i've always liked them :drool:
-
What do you have now, the 18" version of what is in your sig.?
I think they're a really nice wheel.
-
Yeah. I do like the wheels on it but there standard :signLOL:

Hmm, stanced and spaced I think they look killer. I'd keep 'em and have your parents buy you something else, maybe?
CH's are always a classic choice and easy to sell on though.
-

well it's my 21st and not really bothered about hte whole flash watch to keep etc so he said why not something for the car :happy2:
-
black on black looks THE SEX!!! :drool:
you can buy mine and il buy them! :laugh:
-
Ya can't go wrong with BBS' reps :happy2:
Have you considered the Phase 3 R32 reps or the BBS Monzas?
-
Joe you'll want a fortune lol
-
Crimson
Don't really like the monza's and they both feel a little too close to home
Cheers Though
-
Joe you'll want a fortune lol
not really, it does have decent goodyear F1 asys all round though! id take 800 :happy2: :evilgrin:
-
Mercedes wheels. You'll add class and there's millions of styles and offsets to choose from.
-
Do you have Charlestons on your car already? As per your sig? I think they are one of the best VW designs ever and with some smallish spacers would get the 'stance' of the car perfect.
Having said that I got my wife to get me a set of BBSs (genuine!) for my 40th last year!!! :happy2:

Yeah they are mate and i do really like them!!!! its just there standard and am not going to do much to the car so a decent looking aftermarket set of wheels i think will really make a difference :wink:
-
Come on everyone 14 days and counting to my b'day what wheels do i order???? :laugh:
-
I'll say it again: Keep the Charlestons, they're lovely, just add spacers.
Get some engine mods instead.
And if we really have to help you out, what's the budget? Remember don't get cheap tyres or you may not make the next Birthday :happy2:
-
Cheaper the better lol but no more than 800ish really and i dont drive too fast :wink:
Defo like lm and ch reps possible try to find some merc reps or some other reps just because there different.....
-
I'm sure no one out there shares my views, but I have a real problem with reps!
Buy either secondhand BBS before buying reps. If you can't afford them, dont buy them.
-
Have a look at genuine Audi wheels too, as long as you keep the ET over 42ish mm there are loads of styles to choose from and there are some lovely BBS made Calittos on Ebay at the moment.
Just steer away from the really big Audis' rims at their offets are about 35mm which is not good for Golf mk5s.

I appreciate your opinion! but why not buy what you want?
copying is done in everything think about the clothes that people buy on the high street, its often copying the designer and catwalks etc
Another point is i would never be able to justify the 2800ish k for a real set of bbs lm's thats over a quarter of the value car on a set of wheels and its only a daily drive....
and if your view is that people who buy them are robbing bbs well i doubt it... because how much can them wheels really cost them to have such a high price tag
BUT i would rather buy 2nd real one's for the money!
