    Bbs wheel info for my mk1

    I recently purchased a set of these wheels.

    Didnt know too much!about them, but the price was right, they'll fit, look good, and i needed wheels.

    But curiosity has got the better of me, and i wanted to see if anyone knew anything about them as i cant find much online... Apart from some being for sale in japan.

    Bbs JT i believe?





    Cheers

    They are BBS RA's
    Were fitted to MK2 16v GTI's as original equipment.

    Those are mahle apparently. But they are different to mine. My 'spokes' pass the inner lip and stop before the outer lip. Which i think is different to both the RA and mahle images above :/

    I did alot of digging around!

    And i found a car they might have come on!!







    Images are fairly average...

    Isuzu Gemini, my sources tell me they may have been a dealer extra option on the higher end models (JT190)

    Not much else apart from that! Still cool though! Person i got them off thought they were RA's but they're not and i think they look much better

    all my hits on them point to being a JT model as you have said.
    dont know anything else about them
