    Hi, I've been offered wheels like this:

    But they are a real dull grey colour.

    Are these worth 140 with all good tyres?

    And are they a sort after wheel?

    They would look nice powder coated chrome imo

    Standard mk3 vr6 alloys, not overly sort after, 140 is about right if the tyres are a decent make

    Don't know wether to get them or not. Was just after something different to the wheels on my mk4. There only 15's so would look quite small

    I personally think they are a great looking wheel.. but then I do have them on mine! (they need a refurb, but look good if not inspecting closely)

    If they're going on a mk4 then no, it'll look sheit. Too small and too old a design

    Both cars are 5x100 but I doubt the BBSs will look big enough or comtemporary enough... and that's before checking ETs.

    As Mushy said above, go for the Montreal 2's. Best looking wheels on the MK4's!!

    BBS VR6 wheels are a pig to keep clean compared to once over with a sponge on what you are used to on the MK4 so be prepared to spend your life cleaning your wheels every day lol
    Don't you like the Montreals?....

    I've decided not to get the vr6 wheels. I do like montreals, just on a tight budget
