Just made a big wheel purchase.

[wildmongoose26]

Not gonna let the cat out of the bag just yet. Gonna take 2-3 weeks to have the wheels built but lets just say i'm a little excited :-)

[Golddeenoh]

[wildmongoose26]

Not one off wheels. But 3 pc wheels ;-)

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Work rims?

[wildmongoose26]

Can't say too much more. :-)
Although, one of the wheels is a 2 digit width ;-)

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. lol

[TPA5]

[vten]

[tooter]

[wildmongoose26]

Under 5k.
More aggressive then my last set of wheels and those were 16x8+0 on the rear if that helps you out at all. And no, no Diamond racing. Found out how heavy they were....NOT WORTH IT!! ha

[33OH]

I'm hoping for CCW's, but thinking Work's. Either way it will be sick, can't wait to see. :bow:

I was thinking CCW's as well. Maybe even some Rotiforms. Those take a few weeks to make.

[33OH]

Rotiform's would be nice too, especially the TMB's. :drool:

[wildmongoose26]

Still waiting to have them built. Maybe I should change it from big to WIDE. :-). They are 16's so thats part of it.

you're giving away my secret wheel purchase mannnn

oh and neg offset????

[wildmongoose26]

Well if the wheels were more narrow id go negative offset. ;-)
but since they are so wide to begin with dont need it to get the fit I want

[yarisugi]

I didn't know Ronal Teddys came in 16". :P

[wildmongoose26]

They didn't till I told em what's up

[ArmyYaris]

Do you have pics of the 16x8 rims on your ride?

[wildmongoose26]

They are on here somewhere. I believe.

16"x10" rears on 225s with a ET+/-0 offset... what has the Volkswagen community been flocking to lately as far as wheels? Miros, Works, etc.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Work rims ftw!

[wildmongoose26]

More like 16x10 BBS RS ;-)

[david_mackk]

More like 16x10 BBS RS ;-)

Extremely jealous!
Good choice on wheels :)
What color? If you are willing to let that out too :)

[wildmongoose26]

Na. Let the color be a surprise.
16x10+21 in the rear 3" lip
16x8+25 in the front 1.5" lip

[david_mackk]

When can we be expecting pics?!
Im excited to see and jealous at the same time :frown:

[wildmongoose26]

Sad news :-( The company that was doing the wheels told me it would be MONTHS until they could even get us in and not even give an estimated time. Their drill/fill guy was super backed up (500 sets of wheels ahead of mine) Had to cancel the order for the BBS.
Still going wider. 16x8+20 front, 16x9+15 rear. Still a big lip, still a fun color combo :-) Should be here next Thursday.

Im waiting on my wheels since 4/12 too it sucks.

[sasquatch]

Have you tried searching Vwvortex classifieds or contacting rotiform? RS's pop up all the time on vortex in all kinds of sizes and widths, either refinished or not. Sometimes they cam be had for a decent price too. Find a set and refinish them yourself, it's not too hard. Get them blasted and painted/powder coated. Puttin them together takes like 25 min a wheel and sealant has to sit over night to cure. Also Blackforestindustries.com sells replacement and wider lips for RS and RM's.

Rotiform buys sells and refinishes vintage and old wheels, they might have some RS's laying around too.

I just refinished my girlfriends(dinoeggxo) RM's and it wasn't that bad at all.... Aside from stabbing myself haha

This ^ If I was in the market for some bbs' I would just live on vdub forums

Boom: I think you said you wanted 16's but it you coul get this guy to ship them this is a awesome price. 1100 for 15x7 RS's 4x100. Refinishing them you could probably be all in on these for ~2k and sell them or 2500+ depending on color and size when you're done with them.

Looks like they need lips which is perfect for you. BFI sells replacement lips or 130-150 each depending on width, or real BBS replacements for 220+. We had dinoegg's RM barrels glass beaded and powder coated for ~350 for everything.


These won't last long at that price

[wildmongoose26]

Wheels are already ordered. Wanted to stay under 2k all in for wheels and it just wasnt possible in our time frame.

The new wheels will be here on Thursday. ESM 002R, 16x8+20 and 16x9+15. So still an aggressive setup but not as aggressive as we had originally wanted.

[1.5]

almost identical to bbs anyways

[sasquatch]

Pretty close to bbs, I'm into it.

What kind of suspension you going to be running? Tire sizes?

Dinoegg's RM's are 15x7.5 et~20 15x8.5 et~9

[wildmongoose26]

D2 coil-overs, 3 degree camber shims in the rear, 2" of camber in the front (camber bolts)
This is a pic of the old wheels. Should be almost the exact same fit in the rear.
