I can always rely on Spencer that any thread that comes up regarding BBS RS wheels that he whill chime in about his BBS RA wheels as if they were the same as RS's.

Just messing with you Spencer

Still cool wheels but not legend status like the RS.

...obviously my opinion
they look almost identical...


anyways, when the day comes when i can go drive as fast as i want but you cant go anywhere since your wheels are missing bolts your opinion will change

didnt say they were the same, just saying that there are basically identical appearing wheels that will be much less expensive to buy into

not really trying to argue with you, just pointing out that basically anyone that sees my wheels next to yours wont be able to tell a difference, and mine cost half as much

I always loved the mesh pattern BBS wheel... Just too hard to find a good complete set... when I had my A2 Jetta I always looked for a set but never could find all 4 LoL

If anything the Newer "Lobster Claw" style porsche wheels are BBS made...

Found a set on ebay:
