Im trying to think of some wheels for my next mk4 but having major problems deciding, All would be 18'

1. BBS Lemans

2. BBS CH

3. BBS GT

4. Keskin KT4

5. BBS RC

6. Kerscher CS

7. OZ Opera 2

Obviously cost is a major problem with some of them and also availability. Want to do something a bit different so thought about the OZ wheels? Really like dished wheels just now as you can tell! Im thinking kerscher or OZ?

i think the oz may be a merc fitment only[]like the bbs ch and rc but i would like the rc [^]

 

[Gti Fly]

How about BBS Rx's? Seen them over on VWvortex, and they look similar to RC's but slightly meaner if you know what I mean

 

[S1R SS]

Im not a fan of them OZ's TBH,

I like the GT's pretty tricky job trying to replace the LM's but they do look good.

How about them new BBS rims that fella had on his A3 last week VZ or something they were called??

 

[asgh4r]

I like the BBS RC's. Although the LM's are untouchable!

 

[unikarl]

I think the KT4's would look great if the car was black.

4. Keskin KT4 new racer. [].

I'm a big fan of the Keskin KT4. I love the dish and also the design. I've had my eye on these for couple of weeks since finding them, but i'll never be able to afford them. They are definately my favourite wheel by far at the moment. How about some 11 x 18's on the rear [] [!].

 

[AndrewM]

If you're offering, I'll have a set of GT's!!!!

 

[thechief]

found another nice wheel, kerscher crown

 

[thechief]

There is a new contender, SAT RS

Beautiful, just beautiful!! [:O][:O]

Have emailed for prices......

Although if my calculations are right there 3k a set, without tyres [!] They're out of the running then!! [B)]

 

[VR6_Turbo]

Has anybody got any prices on the Keskin KT4 wheels?

It says on Venon Motorsports website to call for prices, but i dont want to waste their time as I am just getting a feel for prices at the moment.

I like the look of them BBS Gt's by the way

ive got keskin kt-5`s they were ?1225.with tyres and lockers and new bolts..

I'm rather partial to dished hoops, just recently iv really been falling out with my anni BBs. They look awesome but are a complete pain what with the milking. After another 10k and a hard winter its going to really make the car look tatty! Ths stealers are macking me with regards to warrantty. So thinking about ditching them into my garage under a blanket until i sell the car, and change to something more user friendly but then i lose some of the Anni heritage. I got the car cus because i liked the whole the package now im being forced into removing one the main parts. What i am to do?

I was after the KT4 Racers. Try Style Dynamix. They quoted me ?1350 for 8.5's at the front and 9.5's at the rear with 225/40 tyres. But availability is a problem. They can't get hold of them.

All the wheels you have listed are very expensive, you best start saving your pennies.

 

[VR6_Turbo]

What make tyres was that with, if you know?

 

[martrayf]

Nah they didn't say. I didn't get that far, as he said they can't get hold of any at the moment, I thought I would leave it and spend the money on something else.

 

[Clipse]

If your going for the split rims type wheel then I think you'll def need 19's

Where as the RC's are sweet enough in 18's

 

[martrayf]

Yeah it's weird how whenever you get split rims or deep dish people always think they are smaller than they are!

Its because the spokes don't come to meet the outer edge of the rim. Wheels like Kahn's, where the spokes come to meet the outer edge of the rim create the illusion that they're bigger than they are.

To fill the arches a bit Kerscher have recommended

front:8.5Jx18 offset 32 with 215 or 225/40

rear:9.5Jx18 offset 35 with 245/35 or 255/35

Sound about right?
