Default Wheel advice: "Which ones?"

Need to choose which wheels by tomorow... took crappy pictures with the cell and did really really crappy pchops...

A: GSR blades 15"




B: BBS RS 3 piece 15"

It doesn't matter what other people think. All that matters is what you like the most and what you can afford. "Your car and your money"

Cheers and I hope you are happy with your decision

those BBS wheels look like you need to add airbags to your car.

Anyways, i say go with the lighter wheels, if you even know which that is.


Multi piece ftw.

i like bbs wheels, but not those. i have always liked the gsr wheels. are you going for looks or other reasons? weight? quality? same offset? width? more info needed, but still your decision. both good wheels imo.

I agree with neri. It's you choice. Personally i would rock the BBS's and re-paint the gold to something else. GSR blades are kinda played out IMO. But thats just me.

Best place to find a set is on http://www.vwvortex.com in the wheel forum... look for BBS RMs (2 piece) or BBS RS (3 piece - $$$).

Yes they do, very good condition (Those wheels in the pictures are the actual wheels in question)

No real reason, the car needs new wheels in a respectable size... i don't think there is a difference in quality... the BBS name stands behind its quality and the gsr blades are OEM wheels (im assuming that means they are pretty good)... the offset is the same (or close), and the width on the RMs is 6.5" - but can be widened if i wish to do so (up to 9") by replacing the lip ($$$). I don't prefer either wheel over the other - I feel the same about both... the price is the only thing that evens out my decision.. if the RSs cost as much as the blades - I would pick them...

Color suggestions to repaint the centers?

either one looks sick..what would you rather have? something mass people have

on their bubblebacks or something you almost NEVER see on a hatch?

BLADES! No offense, but those bb's look busted. I like mesh wheels, but dude, they're gold anodized(Or whatever that gold mess is) The only way I'd do the BB's is if they were waaaaaayyy lighter or waaaayyy cheaper. Even then, I'd be kicking and screaming
