Well the standard BBS are ET45. My G60 steels, and these wheels in this thread, are ET35. You can go as far as ET20 (ATS Cups) on a GTi with standard arches, d-dub has done this with great success. With a little arch work you can go as wide as you want really...

They have ET45 stamped on the back side of them.

Yup, ET45.

I now have a set of ET35 wheels on at the minute as well which were fitted today 8)

Must say after looking at them, the GTi wheels would look much better as ET35's

7J ET35 is spot on Si, same as my Rondells. They make a good difference to the appearance, these could look quite good on the car, although I think they will look the brakes look small(er).

10mm spacers made all the difference to my BBS's. I don't understand why VW made such a sexylicious wheel so skinny, bunch of muppets :D

I'm so indecisive sometimes...

Changed my mind re these rims, they are now sold and I have gone after some wheels from Germany :wink:
