    BBS RX2 18x8.5 ET 32 - Rare wheel (set of 4)

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    After much debate, I have decided that I would prefer to keep my volks. So I am listing these BBS RX2 wheels for sale. Asking is 2000, the wheels were professionally restored by BmoreKreative custom coatings. The center faces are finished in a textured alloy gold, with a powdered clear on top. (The surface is smooth to the touch, but has a cast gold appearance when looking close up at the wheels) The outer barrels are finished in a smooth metallic Porche silver.

    RX2s came on some VW cars in 17x7 fitment back in the day, these are larger Wolfsburg editions that came in 18x18.5 with an offset of 32mm. The bolt pattern is 5/112 and these wheels will clear 18z Brembo calipers. The fitment is flush with the fender, with no spacers required. I have had these wheels for a long time and run them on my B5 in the past. I would recommend a 225/40/18r tire.

    When I purchased the other set of wheels for my B5, I took these BBSs off to store them. I decided to restore them completely with all new hardware, BBS bolts, and BBS center caps. The powder coating is a durable OEM like finish, which I'm sure most of you already know. It's new, so it's in great shape. Since restoring and coating the wheels, they have not been mounted or had a tire mounted on any of them.

    As far as I can tell, the RX2 is no longer in production, so finding a new set is very hard. It took me a few months to find new unused BBS bolts for these wheels. If you are after a new look with a classic BBS wheel that will clear your BBK, look great and turn a few heads, these are your wheels. Given how rare these BBS are in this size and offset, you shouldn't see them too often elsewhere.

    I'm willing to ship at the buyer's expense within the lower 48. I'm located in DC, but I'm also willing to meet a reasonable distance away as well. Please feel free to ask any questions, you can reach me at [email protected]

    While I'm open to all reasonable offers, I'm also in no rush to sell these wheels. Thanks for taking the time to look!

    Bump for a price drop - Have had lots of interest, but no solid buyers. As such, I will knock 300 off the price so 2200 takes them.

    I do like those wheels, but I don't think they will clear my 18z. I would cut you a deal on the BBS though.

    Were these ever repaired at any point (cracks/bends)? Also, what is the weight on these? Just curious. Beautiful wheels btw!

    Nope, they are all bend free and no cracks. This was a set of 5 originally, but the fifth wheel was repaired at some point before me. It works, but I figured most would only care about a set of four.

    Also final price drop, 2000 takes them. Thanks for looking guys
