rim opinion and suggestions

[abtpassat]

hello all
im thinkin of goin with 16 inch wheels on my car (i need light weight and much lip though)
anyone know that perfect rim?

[BboyROnnie]

BBS is great in my opinion. For OEM 16s the BBS RXIIs on the Wolfs are hot and light

I got a buddy that might be seling the RXIIs from his wolf. I can ask. Im actually trying to get 2 RXIIs for track use with the new Nitto NT01s

[v-dub mikey]

you can pick them up for around $500

i got heavy 19's at the moment but i need something for when i want to pick on hondas(the 19's create a sluggish v6)

[v-dub mikey]

I personally want the RC or CH.

EDIT Wow thats a bit much. Keep looking though. You can find em for 500ish. Just get better rubber on em

you want a nice polished lip and lighter yet strong? ...check out www.fikse.com (http://www.fikse.com)


BTW: The stock BBS RXII won't work on his passat 'cause he needs 5x112 (The stock BBS RXII is 5x100)

I know someone else that had rims kind of like that, but i would honestly get something lighter. they complained about it slowing their car down.

[Nieo]

did the rims look good on it tho.. im not going for speed just going for looks in my jetta and i think they would look good.. would i have to get a camber adj kit for this so i dont have unever wear

Eh i would go with what Madcap suggested....

they looked good on my friends car because it was EXTREMELY euro looking to a point that it looked like it belonged... but he did ALOT to get it to that point.
