Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • NSW BBS RC 18" 5x100 Wheels (mk4/r32/bora/polo's etc) & vr6's






    BBS RC 18" wheels Genuine inc Genuine BBS VW Centre Caps! Offers over $1600 inc conti tyres shown in pic with approx 50% tread.

    With Polo's you could use these as they are 7.5 wide and would fit well with a 215 or 225 tyre but 35 profile only. Lightweight wheel so will be lighter then most 17" wheels.

          ok. cool. i would kill for different wheels. i would kill for lighter wheels. i could keep/sell tyres.

          but the worst thing about those wheels is the centre cap. only thing im not sure on.

            They're not under 8kg, I have a set of 16's in the same width and they're just over 9kg.

                  Nope without tires and they were an entry level BBS wheel at the time and that is something to consider. And Pierre you can get the VW style centre caps fairly easily but for the actual 80mm Chrome BBS caps its impossible as they no longer exist. You're looking at 2-400AU for the 4 chrome centres in BBS sytle (the plastic centre not the dish and housing), I have a 1/2 decent set from two wheels and that took me about 6 months to find.

                      Again, the chrome centres are not easy to find (given you found a single used one in the first link, and you had the incorrect carbon black ones in the second) and paying well over $500AU for centres is a lot by anyone's standards, and that isn't including post and hassle. At the price you are asking for them it is rather unfair to not include caps and centres.

                        how do i say this politely

                        read the freakin thread.

                        WHEELS, CENTRE CAPS, TYRES ALTOGETHER INCLUDED!

                        I mentioned if you want OTHER centre caps than VW ones you can purchase BBS ones instead at your own pleasure!

                        They are all over ebay germany, ebay uk, other sites if you google. No offense dude but where the HELL do you search for things as there are more then plenty places to buy things from.

                        Centre Caps for BBS wheels are never cheap genuine. I paid over $180 for my DPE Centre Caps. You pay for quality and for what you get. My BBS CK's werent cheap either, even different centre cap (red ones) which im considering arent cheap.

                        But thanks for your input, helpful........................................ lol

                            Golf Houso - If you dont want to buy the wheels why are you poo pooing in Fusions for sale thread? They are his so he can sell them for a million dollars if he wants. It seems you hop onto every for sale thread to complain things are too expensive and really.. Its against the rules to do that. I think you should give yourself an infraction

                            PS. RCs are a fantastic wheel! Always loved them and *including tyres* I think the price is quite attractive.
