Investigated what DeeVub said about the ASA's and he was correct about the photo being that of the 18 inch or even 19 inch wheels!

So its between the ACT wheels and the Huhrers, hard decision because they will work out at being about the same price!

Totally up to you. In all fairness, both would look really sweet on your car, so you cant really go wrong. Both are nice wheels! I like the ACT's loads!!!! but the rarity of the huhrers tips it slightly for me.

Got a bit of thinking ahead of ya eh lol

I know, its so difficult - I do really like the black centre/polished dish look on the red though!

The ACT's seem to be pretty rare too, was trying to compare prices and couldn't find the same wheels anywhere or anything similar. Wish I could afford them both but that just isn't going to happen!!

I haven't seen These on a MK5 yet. You can get them in a 15 or 16 inch size, and are 4x100. They look like scaled-down BBS CH's.

The BBS are nice, but might just be a tad more than the other two sets in consideration !

What are the size/width and offset of the final two you are considering? This will play a big part on how they look on the car.

I'd also consider the weight, the standard BBS split rims are 8.5kg's each, you don't want something that is hugely different to that.

The ACT's are 7.5 x 15 all round, ET25, VW centrebore (57.1)

The Huhrers are 16x7, maybe 7.5, I'm not sure what offset but they are from deevubs mk5 so I know they'd fit with the spacers he's providing with the wheels.

I have to admit I understand most of the wheel dimensions but the offset part confuses me a bit!

I voted for the Cups but those BBS RFs are stunning!

i'd go for the ASA's although you could just get your RX's re-done to look almost the same!

Those RF's are nice, but I want something with a bit of a dish on it.

The ASA's do look a bit like the standard wheels - and my standard bbs do need a good refurb, laquer is peeling off nicely now!
