rim opinion... - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

**neonSRT** · 08-08-2007, 11:24 PM

So I was bored earlier, and started looking at new wheel possibilities for next year...

original idea(saw the rims for sale, and thought I'd try it out)..

or BBS RA's(stock on 16v GTI's), polished lip red painted centers:

And the rims I'd probably actually go with because they're sold exactly how I'd want them in a 15x7..

Thoughts on the idea??

**NikiterZts** · 08-08-2007, 11:59 PM

love em both......but im more about the top ones though....but hey the second ones are already done up

**neonSRT** · 08-09-2007, 12:16 AM

^^ the first photoshop is Rota Track R's, which come just like that.. The second is BBS RA's, which don't come like that(either all silver, or VERY rare are navy blue face with polished lip).. The bottom picture is an Axis OG San, which looks ALOT like a BBS RA, comes in a 15x7(perfect size for me) and comes red/machined already from the factory..

**NikiterZts** · 08-09-2007, 12:22 AM

ok, so what size do those Rotas come in?
and i know those BBS look alikes are very popular on euro cars

**neonSRT** · 08-09-2007, 12:50 AM

^^ the BBS lookalikes are brand new from Axis, and are being marketed for Honda's actually.. haha!

The Rota's will come in 15x7 and 16x7 I'm sure.. I just like the BBS/Axis spoke pattern better. Rota's will be lighter though..

**Bananaclipper** · 08-09-2007, 12:06 PM

Both look tight.

**intense_imports** · 08-09-2007, 12:44 PM

search the axis o.g old skool n drop those on

**neonSRT** · 08-09-2007, 06:28 PM

not a fan of the OG old skool's.. Ideally I'd get some BBS RM's with bigger lips, but I refuse to pay what mint ones are worth(like $2k with rubber and bigger lips).

**sevsev** · 08-09-2007, 06:49 PM

Love the look

doooo it

**neonSRT** · 08-09-2007, 10:10 PM

^^ You paying for them???

I'll be trying to find some BBS' to do this with, and if I can't find them at a reasonable price I'll just buy the Axis ones new.

**Jamie** · 08-09-2007, 10:19 PM

first ones for sure

**scradley** · 08-09-2007, 11:18 PM

15x8 schmidt th lines would look money too!

will ive seen a few sets of RM's floating around the classified on vortex lately

**neonSRT** · 08-10-2007, 08:09 AM

^^ Yeah, but I don't want to pay what good ones are going for.. If I'm going to spend that much on rims, it'll be on Porsche Fuchs..

**AndrewTDI** · 08-10-2007, 09:00 PM

i'm feelin' the second ones. IMO they suit the car better.

**mazda_racer** · 08-11-2007, 03:37 PM
