Keep your shirt on, you need to be specific "Standard Wheels" ? :birdman:
Remember you are dealing with an aged population here, not the juvenile cutter crew, everything is failing, but enthusiasm.

Spare set here with; sizes, part no's, offsets, and very cheap too: http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-m...eels/112568908 :finga:

My shirts firmly on my back.... I'm feeling yours might be a little baggy tho:wink: with an abrupt answer like that especially with the "finger" smilie.

I told you things were failing, that includes eyesight my apologies for the smiley choice. Bottom line, did you find the information you needed, if so, job done.

I did thanks, I was trying to workout what with/offset a set of 18's would be best in... I do love the look of the CSL rims but already I don't like cleaning them:hahaha:

They are of the moment, the BBS design is produced for VW, Audi etc. with only minor variation. They are in effect a fashion statement of the 00's as regards wheel design, being reproduced all over the world and in places which have neither heard of, nor seen a CSL.

As you rightly remarked they are a sod to clean and maintain. I have 2 sets 1 Black for proposed track use and 1 Silver for daily use, but I'm sorely tempted by: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volk-Racin...-/150929002426

These 18"s are what 'shimmy' uses for trackdays, and are reputed to be amongst the best available and at c. $950 each, they look like a good buy,
just a pity they're not a square set up all of one size either 8.5 or preferably 9.5.

[Steve B]

They are already in my "watched items"

I quite fancy a set of Rota Grids as I had GTRs on my Focus RS previous to this car.... I'm only put off by loosing the originality of the CSL rims tho..

As others have said before, those Volks are not like mine. They are old technology and Rotas are old copy technology.
