While were on the subject of BBS RA's anyone know what wide and offset the 14" ones are? I think the vw ones are ET38? but I have different ones with a lower offset and what appears to be a deeper dish to them. just wondering if they were wider wheels too.

I cant read what it said on them as they've been refurbed and repainted.

they are lower, stick out more and use longer bolts than the other 4" ra's
they may also be 6.5" wide, but most probably 6"
