Re: e-bay for rims?

Yeah BBS wheels are very pricey as they are some of the best around. Something about that wheel just does not look right to me though, maybe it is just the finish but one wheel wont do you much good!

Re: e-bay for rims?

Derek has BBS centre caps. That auction is for the wheel only.

I'd get a clarification if it was a 18 or 17" rim.

One wheel, no centre cap = boo. Too bad though. Honestly though, I think buying wheels off eBay will end up being a LOT unless you find some fairly close to home, I imagine any seller will make you pay a lot extra for shipping and whatnot.

I'd say if you're looking for wheels consider what kind of look you would like (Classy, sporty, Ol' skool, etc.) and go from there, there are a lot of different looks you can have on a MK3, just depends how you want yours to look.

O/T, there's a porcelain blue Jetta running around the Beddington area with colour matched centres and polished lip, I can't tell what kind of wheels they are though cause we are always going opposite directions but I know he JUST got them colour matched as i've seen him a few times. Man, that colour combo ends up on PVW and everyone runs for it! At any rate, it's a nice looking car, wish I could get closer to it.

Sweet colour matched would be hot on Porcelain blue!! That car from Arizona on the cover of PVW is actually Nogaro blue as it had a full respray, was done by the guy who was supposed to make my bumper.

Ah, I haven't actually really seen it, I just heard Kris talking about the sale of your car, and the cover car on PVW. I DO know it has my FAVORITE wheels on it though (KT5's).

Re: e-bay for rims?

Actually I think they are MAEs very very nice and very pricey too!

[Tuna]

Re: e-bay for rims?

Ah, well that's what I get for not looking at it myself. Looking at it I woulda probably figured it out. Only the 15" KT5's had 6 holes.

One rims with no center cap is great for a full sized spare
