Hi,
I'm assuming these are a BBS custom version wheels, but if they are available on the market, I want to get a set. Any ideas?

You can try contacting the seller & ask them. They’re close to the E88 style but have been re-banded to fit into the wheel wells. The car has either been modified or is sporting a set of adapters since a shitrocket was never produced with a 5 lug pattern. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

That reads like it was written by a twelve year old & typed out by their little brother. Are you supposed to read it like a Haiku? _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

Thanks for doing the research and finding the story! I found a seller in the Netherlands and they want $4k Euro for a set, that doesn't include shipping! I'm hoping I can find a set here in the states. _________________ VW Collector1
