They're cheap-as-fk BK Racings of some description, designed to look like BBSes. And not doing a very good job of it.

Whatever they are, they are rubbish looking and most certainly not BBS.

Ah, ok. Sorry. I stand corrected.

I guess they look enough like BBS to have made me think "they look a bit like BBS" hehe

Get some proper BBSs and have done with it. They really suit the MK3s.

They've got that multistud pattern on them too. Cheapo BKs of some kind.

They're far too big for a Golf, whatever they are. They look ridiculous.

Go for these instead, standard Golf III BBS wheels.

I am sure they will be cheaper, lighter, better quality and give better handling and ride than those you posted.

Have to agree wholeheartedly - those look much better.

Just ordered a set off ebay - fully professionally refurbished with tyres.

They look like copy BBS CS's to me..or maybe Dotz Mugello (the inner edges of the spokes are black on these)...the only confusing bit is how many wheel bolts do they have?

Good that you changed your mind! smile Sounds like a good price for 4 x refurbed wheels with tires.

Yes, looking forward to getting them fitted. Car has just 91K miles, brand new Bilstein suspension fitted all round, drilled discs, perfect interior. K&N induction kit in the boot ready for fitting. Got some paintwork done to bring the bodywork to near min. Just needs a good polishing, two small trim strips and these wheels fitted and that will be her sorted.

Really looking forward to it all coming together.
