dumb shit...


WTF are these?

They are, BBS RJ (6 x 14, ET thirtyeight) (6½ x 15, ET 33)

They came stock on:

Golf Mk1, Mk2, Scirocco Mk2


The vw part # is


601 BBS 046
601 BBS 052

Oh shit, you're right. I forgot about the RM's being split.

If those are 14's, that guy is a midget, or perspective is screwing with me.

they're 15s, and the polo is tiny..


and nice score on the RJ find, tatertots!

However, being in the VW scene for better than 20 yrs, I can't recall ever seeing them on any Mk1,2 or Scirocco 2.. :(
I'll have to keep my eyes open more..

Just got some 15" RM's that I am redoing. They have two original VW small lips and two Kodiak 2" lips. The wheel faces need cleaned up a bit an dI am going to have them done in Nogaro silver.

Balck Forest only has 83 bolts in stock, I need all 120. Any idea where I can get them for a comparable price?

They only have 83 bolts in stock? That is the lamest thing I've ever heard.

You should post some pics of your wheels. Don't worry if they're haggard.

I would post more but they are at the powdercoater, should be done next week and then I will be getting pics up.

Just got the bolts from a guy in Germany along with 1.5" lips for the front and valves stems.

Anyone know a good way to keep my center caps from flying off? The caps on my RM's feel really loose and I can easily remove them with my fingers. I was thinking of using a hot glue gun since the adhesive can be peeled off. Any suggestions?

[Nicademus]

You could do that, but honestly what you need to do is purchase new ones. The tension rods are worn out on yours.

You could try to rebend the metal to ad more tension or perhaps make some from stuff at the hardware store? If I still had my BBS RM's I could help you more.

They should have made them screw on like the RS wheels.

Wow!! Only other time Ive seen the exact same setup as my white car. We should have a shoot. No one has the 16" 4x100's.

Mariano,

Here are mine. Same setup. Perfect offset. No fender mods. No rubbing with 225/45/16. I dropped the rear some since this photo.

How well would some 16x8.5 and 9.5 et56and 59 RS's fit on an 89 e30 with adapters?
