    BBS RM 011 wheels 15x6.5 et15 4x108 + 195/50/15 semi slicks

    I recently bought a set of BBS RMs last minute on eBay without getting any prior information regarding offsets and widths from the seller - I knew there was a chance I'd get the ET33 set which I could widen out and redrill for half the price of importing the desirable RM012s which was my first option. I took the chance and it backfired, the offsets are way to aggressive to build out on a MK1. If I wanted 6.5" then I'd be really happy because ET15 would look pretty flush without having to space out etc. But I wanted 7.5/8.5 staggered which would put it into negative offsets and look ridiculous.

    Condition is good I'd put them at 7.5/10 but they would definitely benefit from refurbing or even splitting and properly rebuilding and getting paint/polish. There are a few nicks in the lips, but 0.5" lips can be replaced for only a couple of dollars - they're about $30 on ebay UK. They have black bolts, a few different centrecap options, some 4 red BBS ones and there's 4 genuine RM centrecaps, even these are worth $$$. Tyres are brand new, never driven on Nankang Semi Slicks 195-50-15s RRP of about $500?

    These sell for $1000 wheels only in the UK and I've seen RM012s sell for $2000 over here. I'm just looking to get what I paid back which was $700+freight so just over $800 in the end. It'll cost me about $50 to get the tyres knocked off hence the price difference. Like I said not trying to profit, just sell a rare wheel to VW enthusiasts before shipping them to the UK to get my money back haha.

    Wheels and tyres $800 + postage
    Wheels only $550
    Tyres only $300

    All prices are firm.

    Wish it was a typo - however easily drilled and filled to 4x100.

    Pics added.

    Do you want me to take them to a local engineer and see if they can be drilled and filled to 5X100? I'm pretty sure the RM never came in 5X100 - I've seen 5X114.3, 5x120 and 5x112 I think but not 100.
