guys I am thinking of selling my 20" BBS-GT's(to harsh) and swap for RS$ reps or these, I really like these, but ET # always throws me off, will these be direct bolt on?

No, they will not be a direct bolt on because of the center bore difference. 66 vs 57. You will need to get hub ring spacers. I would just get 5m hubcentric ring spacers and it will fill the arches just a little better as well. They are sold by H&R, as well as others.

Absolutely gorgeous wheels and a great price. My guess is they dont last one day at that price. The RS5 wheel would be another very cool option.

Good luck,

Stephen

No problem...as far as the ET, they should be okay...29 versus 32. The spacers would fix that also...you would essentially be at et27 with the spacers.

You'll need at least a 4mm spacer due to the spoke angle or it'll touch the front calipers. I used custom 4mm hub centric spacers with 66mm to 57mm center bore.

I thought that was you. Are you out at Rivercity now? I thought somebody had mentioned seeing your car there.

Yeah I was just ready for a change and moved out there. Spent almost 9 years there. Good friend of mine that worked at the dealer with me opened Rivercity and I live in Hudson so it worked out nice.

Glad to hear it, I've heard nothing but good things about Rivercity. I myself just left my job after 9 years and took a position as service manager at Auto Edge. Best of luck to you, we should grab a beer sometime and talk car.
