I spotted them on ebay, look like vr6 15s but these are BBS 442 ET33. I thought the vr6 were more like 42-43 ??? The spokes do look like they are set further back in the dish. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
I must admit I did skim read that. The design does look like the original wheels from a MK3 VR6, but as Justin pointing out, mine has different specs and offsets to your picture. In addition there is a step on the outer edge of the rim not present on the items that were on my car. Can you find any part number for the rim?
I only spotted them as I was looking for a set of VR6 wheels for my mk2 so I could run 288 brakes. I have the early VR6 wheels on that I think look almost period for the mk2. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
The ET of 33 would be ok for the mk2 though although the price he wants I would want them attached to a car!!! And also would they actually accommodate the 288mm brakes. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Well I waited and waited on the listing being constantly relished and struck a deal and bought them. So wait and see if they turn up! !! I guess they are passat aftermarket BBS 442 but at ET33 they will be perfect on the mk2 Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
They might not cover 288s at ET33... I bought some wheels for my VR6 at a local wheel specialist, where you select the size and style of wheel and they fit them for you (supposedly in the correct ET...). They fitted fine, until I came to change the pads about 6 months later; they wouldn't fit back on with fresh pads. Turns out they were GTI offset of ET35 vs the correct VR offset of ET43...
On the tuv approval for them it does quote all the mk3 models and high kw engines so I think they should. And typical a set appear on Gumtree in Scotland for 120 !!! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
My only guess is bbs made them as an option for vw to sell aftermarket from the production models. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Currently have early vr6 wheels fitted but my god they are a pain to clean. But love them in sparkle silver Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
