    I am thinking about a new set of wheels for my MKII 1990 GTI and have seen a few with the BBS RS split-rims on, and I like the look of them.

    I have gone through a few online wheel suppliers e.g. bbsdirect & style dynamics but they dont seem to stock this model of the brand.

    Where would I need to start looking for a price on these.

    Sorry if this is a dumbass question ! [:s]

    Thanks in advance

    www.supergolfs.co.uk

    But get ready in the prone position as you will be getting shafted.

    Or try german ebay

    edited because I made up a link instead of bothering to find out the real web address

    E bay is your best bet, but be prepared to get them refurbed, which isnt cheep, you could go for RM's cheeper but very simiar, and better fit apparently

    Well just so happens me and mate or 2 are road tripping early new year into Europe. Only a weekend thing. You think it might be worth a look in Germany ?

    Anyone got any info on where to go in Germany ?

    i bought some rm's from German Ebay for 185 (220 inc shipping)

    i will be getting the 2.5" deep polished rims and new bolts (bout 280+vat) and they'll do me :)

    I just bought a set of BBS RS wheels a couple of weeks ago from supergolfs. I got a set of 7x15's with p/w michelins for 1165. They're not cheap but they have been refurbed and polished and look the business.
