Oh... sorry.

It's here outside of Athens... But the thing is most of them will do the  shipping and what not. I just figured I'd let you guys know I'm looking for the VW promised land. The first thing I saw in the shop at the BMW yard was 3 or 4 sets of BBS splits that came on the earlier models in fair to good condition... But I really hate BBS splits... Thought I'd pass on the info. I don't think the guy knew what he had, and I wasn't gonna tell him!

if you see a set of RM's in that VW graveyard, let me know...  :mrgreen:

What exactly do they look like, really? They are just not my thing so I keep walking when I see the BBS logo. I do know it is the Holy Grail for VW junkies, that's all I know. Hell, my GLI has BBSs stock and I am trying with all that is sane not to get rid of them...

these are BBS RM wheels... notice the center caps. They are a 2 piece wheel, with a barrel, and a lip. These particular RM's have a machined face, so they have perfect straight cut edges on the wheel pattern. If you have a stock mkII GLI, chances are you have these wheels... if not, you have RA's... (see further down)





these are BBS RS wheels.... basically, the same thing, but a 3 piece wheel... again, notice the center cap




and, finally.... the one piece RA's

I did see a few of those but I didn't check the condition... I'll take a look again Saturday, if I'm off. MyGLI is a MK4 and the wheels still are missing something...
