    i always laugh when i see hellfrauds :lol:

    How much did you end up paying? What size?

    What similar wheels are there to BBS RX? I really like the mesh style.

    But then I also really like Santa Monicas :lol:

    Not sure how much I can lower with 17s though? My rear seats will get used now and again....

    Hmm what do people think of the Avus (S3) wheels?

    Trying to find some pics of them on a mk3, no joy so far...

    I like them...... but on a MK3....not sure?? Would need a photochop!!

    I missed out on a set of really good 16" BBS RX by a fiver the other week, they went for 155 and had just been refurbed. Local to me aswell. Was gutted.

    I saw some Avus wheels on a red mk3 on here but for the life of me I can't find the thread. I particularly like those wheels, look class. Anybody got any pics??

    (On a side note - what's your Polo like? I LOVE them, quite a high chance of me getting one in a couple of years)

    Dont bother with the low offset if you want to lower it. :)

    Pah. Knew that one was coming!

    It's ET35 i need yeh?

    Why dont i just stop worrying about 300 quid and get some bloody RX's :lol:

    Still can't believe i missed out on that set the other week that went for 155.....

    Think 16s might be the best bet. Are yours 16 phil?

    Chris,

    Yes ET35 is your best bet. Get the RX's, or you'll forever be regretting it. :)

    Mine are 17's, but they are RS's. I run RX2's for winter wheels.

    Thats quite a wheel line up!!!

    I'm looking at like 900 for 16s (rx2 is what i mean))....

    Perhaps it would be best waiting to see if anybody is selling some!! Or even RC.

    I've been looking for ages now and they are one of the only wheels that makes me think "yes"

    If I end up selling my VR with my RS's on, I'll let you have my RX2's. They are on my valver at the mo, but as soon as the wife starts driving it, they'll be coming off ;).


    I was offered some 16" RX2's with tyres a while back for 100 - had that many wheels at the time I knocked 'em back. I went back to get them for prof (off here), but they had been sold. Should have had them myself, when I had the chance. [:s]

    Aye, I want to sell my VR and valver, get something else and then get my Rallye how I want it. I've not advertised it yet - don't think I can bring myself to do it! :(

    You should go for 17" RX2s, 16s have no real presence.
