binliner 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 the BBS everytime... If you dont like black wheels then dont do the centres black! Link to post Share on other sites
MrBen 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Those BBS would be fantastic with the centres body colour - works so well on colours like that! Bloody expensive wheels though! Link to post Share on other sites

badboyV6 4 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I do love the BBS, but im getting sick of the site of them at the mo. Do like the Audi rims mind, always have... would like a set for winter.... Link to post Share on other sites
six appeal 53 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 BBS for me, but it had been done a lot lately, but no wonder as they do look so right! Audi wheels just look too big on a Mk3 for my liking.Maybe go for a different type of split rim? Have a look on the Image website for some ideas.Simon Link to post Share on other sites
richievr 1 Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 not necessarily bbs splits i had in mind ..was thinking of these maybe??? still unsure about black centres though. . . .i've never even considered them until i did the pic above . . .now i've gone from from (not quite) hating them to full on loving them!!!how about colour coded???

Seademon 0 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 RX2's all day long! ha ha - Im biased but you cant go wrong with any BBS wheel really - quite like the LM's - they all have a motorsport pedigree to them too.I've got a 19" BBS LM which has had the back chopped off and made into a trophy, looks the nuts - lovely wheels.What about the RH Turbo Splits? Really nice wheel but quite pricey Link to post Share on other sites
six appeal 53 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 FYI:They did make the LM's in a limited amount in 17's so there are some out there! Ps. What about RK2's? Very nice looking wheel and I may even be able to halp you out locating an as new set cheap ;o) Link to post Share on other sites

They look lovely on Mk4si have had my arches rolled but still not sure if 18's would fit. . . . . .they do look awesome on mk4's, but as much as i love a8 style rims i'm not sure they work on mk3's. . . .hence i did the pics (to convince myself) and i'm still not sure !!! - now i like black centres for the first time ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
