Loopy Lupo Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 i may have found a solution to my alloy wheel conundrum! these aren't as s****y (or expensive!) as the bbs rc i love - but they are very similar and can be had in a variety of sizes / offsets. what do you guys reckon, hit or crap? can be had in chrome (mmmm not sure) hyper silver of hyper black with silver dish. let me know what you think please! :wink: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I like the colour posted.Looks better than the BBS IMO although I dunno what they look like in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I like it, there was a guy on DemonVW who was asking the same thing the other week. A far cry from the venom! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> I'd have hyper black with the polished rim on a silver car :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty b-road Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Who said venoms dammit, I'd nearly forgotten themAlex, get em mate, I like em. In 18 months they will be covered in crap and stonechips and have kerb marks on them. Why spend loads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twisty b-road Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 If I was buying 16s I would go for a 40 profile7x16 with an ET 38 maybe?At some stage someone is gonna say something like"wish you'd got BBS mate?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marqs_Loopy Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 `Be-atch` I have been looking for BBS RC's in 16" for ages and i have been told "yoo Got no chance mate hy dunt ya get some 17" inch Venoms they'lllook pukka" Eff of you lesbian" I said I want my mota to look as oem as possible not like a corsa or paxo with **** lights on... Oh yep i 'do like em lots in that colour too and they would look luverly on my Blak GTi.. Agree with Si 16's... How much for the tyres though. Iwas told by a geeza in Etreme's in harlow that they will be fazing out 16's soon so thats why I can't get BBS RC's in 16 any more... any truth in that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
