BBS RM - width and fresh out the refurb

Featured Replies

Have had these wheels for about 4 years now and they've only spent 1 of those on the car, hence now I find myself unable to justify having them sit around any longer!

So... I have a full set of BBS RM 012s, refurbished only a couple of weeks ago and with a brand new set of 195/45 tyres on them ready to go. They are 4x100 and 15" x 8" at the front (et8) and 8.5" at the back (et2).

I originally bought the wheels for in perfect condition however one particularly unfortunately timed road trip (surprise snow, grit etc etc) saw the outer dishes not looking too happy. I'd always wanted a set of BBS with painted outer dishes as I'm really not a fan of the whole chromed out, polished to fuck perfection that you see so much of- it also has the advantage of needing less cleaning and general care that those rolling mirrors do.

My original idea was to make them look like a completely standard set of BBS, just with the wider dishes, but then I decided they needed some sort of finishing touch so invested in a set of gold bolts! Anyway, less chat and more pictures....

They aren't in the picture but I have all the centre caps and badges, although you may want to buy a new set of BBS badges to do the rest of the wheel justice..

Seeing as there are sets of baskets in decent condition floating around for 300-500 and having spent over £600 on the refurb, bolts, tyres and getting them put together (plus the fact they haven't even seen the road yet!) - I'm looking for £1000. Could be open to swaps with cash my way depending on what they are (would have to be 15s or 16s with some serious width as I'm now rolling in a B3 Passat) but if I can't get what I'm looking for I'll be more than happy to keep them.

Any questions feel free to PM. Cheers!

I'm sorry to reply with no intent to buy but... you have made a awesome set of rm's there mate and you can run them in all weather so its a win win. I think you should keep them for you B3 I wish I had these wheels when I had this...SNV30083.jpg

These are so sick, think I prefer them like that to polished, gold bolts work so well.
