Looking at buying a set of BBS wheels for my car.
I was going to get a set of 18x8 CH's
But I have seen these

What do people think?
Car is a mk5 golf gti in cool grey.
Also 18's or 19's and is there any issues with 19's?
Was thinking 18x8 et45 which would allow me to lower the car slightly if required
-
CK's :signLOL:
-
19 ch-r :love:
-
CH's :happy2:
-
19 ch-r :love:
Have to say I fancy the CH-R's CH,'s are a bit common
-
CK's :signLOL:
yep ck.s in 19"
-
19 ch-r :love:

I think they're just a better shape too, they look great I would love a set !
-
CK's :signLOL:
yep ck.s in 19"
Gotta be 19" CK's :notworthy:
CH's would be a very close 2nd but they are pretty much everywhere (and for good reason)!
Still would be 19" CK's for me :drool:
-
It won't be CK's I think they look awful :P.
Having had a look about CH-R's are the way ahead.
235 35 19 tyres fit okay under standard suspension?
Now what off set? Et50? Want it to look nice and dished :laugh:

Ok decision made its BBS CH-R's in 19x8.5
Now though bright silver or anthracite?
Car is cool grey

Well the CH-R's are gorgeous too mate. :wink:
…..but I think I'd be going for the 19x8's rather than the 8.5's :happy2:

Its quite difficult to get anything dished mate…. The lower the offset the more dish. My original Pescaras are ET51 and are almost a flat front face.
Having a few sets of 19" wheels, I can tell you that the perfect size for the wheels and tyres are, 19x8J ET45 wheels with 225/35/R19 tyres. :happy2:
Ive never had any rubbing at all even with the car full (after the screw mod) :wink:
-
Not ordered as yet. Have asked the question if I can get the wheels in 19x8j et45 with 225 35 19
CK's just aren't for me they design is too rounded. I like my BBS wheels with more jagged spokes than rounded.

Now that is EXCATELY how I want my Tornado ED30 to look, simply gorgeous wheels and ride height. Antheracite BBS CK's in 19's (need to go sit down now) in my opinion.
By the way Monte, love your new boots on your car :notworthy:
:happy2:
-
depending on what you're after. If you're more after looks get bigger wheels, if after car performance go for smaller as lower unsprung weight and better handling for the alloy
-
:ashamed: :ashamed: :ashamed:
I apologise…. I read the thread title wrong. I thought you were asking about CH's or CK's.
The CH's or CH-R's :drool: will both look Amazing mate :notworthy:
I'd definitely get 19" though, and either Anthracite or the Silver will look awesome on a Grey golf. What golf is it BTW? MK5? Ive never heard of cool grey thats all :popcornsoda:
-
Sorry it's steel grey (cool grey is a Subaru colour) car is a mk5 gti 3 door
I'm going for bright silver as the anthracite has a silver lip which I'm not a fan of.
So going for CH-R's in silver 19" by 8" wide with et45 rite choice? Tyres 225 35 19
-
The CH R are 8.5 on the width @ 19" :happy2:
Might be able to revise the price on the pm I just sent you. Let me have a look tomorrow when I'm not half asleep
Rob :happy2:
-
Very, very nice mate. They will look perfect :congrats:
Have you done the screw delete mod yet Ciaran?

Screw delete mod?

if your car is lowered the tyre can scrub on the top screw holding the inner arch lining

Anybody a link to this screw delete mod?
Is it wise to fit 225's to 8.5 wide wheels or should I go 235?
Is et45 the best offset?

Did you not get the "pm" i sent you?

Good choice. :happy2:
-
very nice :happy2:
-
Awesome.

hmmm! tasty! deffo needs to sit on its Arse more! new springs/coilovers planned? any other mods? :popcornsoda:
-
TBH it has just come off the jack when i took the photo. Suspension has settled by an inch or 2 now. Access to my house has a very sharp incline that can cause issues with low cars. may just try a 30mm drop. Can always take the springs again if there is an issue
