Mimics the BBS RC style found on the 2004.5 Jetta GLI. It has 10 branches vs the 8 on the BBS RC.

Rather interesting but I don't like how squared off the spokes seem to be. Could be an illusion but it appears that way.

How much?

I like this one better.

Its the Rage Euro. Looking up by vehicle wont show it on discounts site but it will if you look up by size. I e-mailed them to confirm that the information was correct and that it will fit. They cofirmed both but I guess they haven't changed it to show on the Passat car search

 

[rpaller]

I agree.. I like the Euro even better and they are the same price too. :thumbup: $110 a wheel. Little nervous about quality, but at $110 a wheel I supose they are almost comidity priced. LOL

Where does the rage retail at $110? thats an interesting price but will these BBS knockoff wheel look good in 17"s in our cars?

Yeah, I couldn't say either way about the quality. Appears to be a nice rim but appearances can be decieving. I did ask about the weight. The reply was between 21 and 22 lbs which won't set any records but its respectably low. Considering my stock wheels and tires are 39lbs (bathrom scale), you could get tires at about 23lbs (some are less, some are more) you'd only be at 44lbs - 5 over stock. Not bad. But I'm also considering 18's which would mean either Flik Wasps or ASA AR1s. Decisions decisions.

Well, baisee00's look good (they're Rondels but almost identical)

and so do Lobich's 17 BBS RX's

thx for the info r-paller and thx for the pics V-man (they do look pretty nice)... I was first goin for 18"s but i cant afford them (and they are so expensive and then i know something will happen to them and then i am gonna be much more pissed since they cost at least 50 more per wheel).. i had the TSW revos in mind, real nice lookin wheels that look like 18"s and retail for 400 at cheapwheels.com but will also think about this ones!

Well due to the back order and my lack of patience combined with a need for new rubber I stepped up to 18" Enkei MM2's with Yok AVS ES100's for @ $1280. (380 more then what I could get the Rage Euro's for) They should be here on Mon or Tues.

Be sure to post picks when you get them on.

The spokes are too thick for my tastes.

eehhhh... not the nicest 'mesh' wheel I've seen.
Those Euros look like a nice RX knock-off.
The Rondells are nice too.

[JETninja]

What do the MM2's in 17" weigh? Not found that info on the Discount Tire site.....

 

[rpaller]

I lost the link to the site that had all the wheel weights on them.
