Went to the junkyard today and found endless sacks of BBS 5 lug rims but only a few 4x100 rims that werent steelies.

First is the car. 95 Mullberry Jetta, 5spd, leather, GTI disk brakes, intake, cat back, neuspeed springs, and 46,000 miles on the clock. $1300. Only thing wrong is that the hood is flat black :(

Only thing not included is the rims in the pic.

My options are these styles pictured or a set of steelies that Ill polish the lip on. What do you guys think?

Im leaning towards steelies polished or the first rim which was a Nissan factory rim.

i think the steelies w/ polished lip would look good w/ that color and the drop that it already has. If you do it, post pics i would want to see it. good luck!

^EZ Pull in Newringgold Wetzel, $25 for each rim. $100 for 4 MINT BBS rims. Most ricers dont know that BBS rims came on a butt load of domestic cars too. Pontiac Grand Prix's had the BBS gold with crome lip while 90's lincolns had them too. I went to the junkyard today and must have seen 5 sets of 5-lug BBS rims. Im trying to do this car as cheap as possible. Its a DD and I missed 5spd insanely. Cant really justify hunting down rims, if they are at the junkyard, Ill snatch em up.

When do want to go get them?

Found the car on a VW forum, only problem is that it has a salvage title.

so what lol. I LOVE that color. Have you seen mine? Mine needs a lil TLC right now but alot the **** i cant do myself and Im to low on funds to pay to have it done.

Ill def let you know when I wanna go up. I got the buggatis right now, aint bad, but some BBS would be nice painted all up.

Another option, Red with polished lip steelies. Or black with polished lip steelie? My mind is racing, I cant wait to tear into this Jetta!

I say get BBS like the ones on it before. You can always get some Sport Max for like 650 with tires shipped if you wanna stay cheapish. There not "baller" wheels but they look nice IMO

Are these goona be winter wheels or everday wheels?
Cause choice 3 would look good with a new silver powder coat.


But if I were you I'd try and get some Ronals LS or R10.

2 or 3 gets my vote. If your really looking for something OEM, i have another set of wheels for mine that are the stock alloys they came with.
