Another look at an old BBS classic, the RX-R, in three finishes - satin gold, brilliant silver and satin black diamond cut.

These alloys were on my list when choosing,I really do like the look of the diamond cut finish in these alloys and I think they also would have suited my R,they IMO give the impression they are larger than 19" though I wanted to move away from the worry of curbing a diamond cut wheel.

The white GTI with the diamond cut works, but curbing them would bring many tears me thinks.

I still think the Borbets have worked well on your R though.

These were only identified as 18 inch GT wheels, whatever they are they have a turbine look (although every alternate blade is angled the opposite way so not quite) and almost a little OEM to them.

AUDI FIVE ARM WING
Specs: 20 x tbc, ET tbc, weight tbc







These are 20 inch replicas of the new Audi S3 19 inch option overseas which are not available here; funnily enough the UK guys are whinging that we get the five V spoke design as an option - the VW Pretoria whinge in reverse!

another quick question

does anyone know what 235/35 R19 tires are the new Golf Rs coming with?

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A on all MY14 and presumably MY15, if the below photos are any guide, which I took last week in Bayford Volkswagen Camberwell (not my selling dealer), where they have a new DSG Lapiz Blue R in the showroom with leather, sunroof and DA package. Those with a keen eye will notice the production date of these tyres is recent (mid May).

Dutch77, you would have have a special interest in this post, as these are precisely the size and model of what's fitted to your GTI. It provides a different perspective as far as car model and colour is concerned, and it's obvious the wheel gap is far more pronounced on this regular model than yours with 15mm lowered suspension. The R with a further lowering of 5mm can only help, I hope.

Spoken like Rick Harrison's buddy.

Yep, there is no doubt this car needs some lowering; I'd prefer my GTI to be a tad lower with these wheels as well - but working on that issue at the minute. However ignoring that issue I think these wheels (not surprisingly) work well with this model and especially this color.

If anyone would like to own a piece of OZ history - the first set in Australia, then PM me.. there is a small chance I might be ready to try something else. Stupid wheel threads..
