Default Finally bought new wheels: 18" CHs. I know... I know... Welcome To 2005...
It was a long search and I was all over the place in my decision-making. BBS, VMR, SSR, OZ...all received serious consideration at some point. I was VERY close to a VMR purchase this week during their big sale. Those new V713s really had my attention. However, I stumbled upon this set of CHs in the AZ classified tonight and jumped on it. The CH was always a contender b/c of price and basic good looks. While I prefer the look of the 19s, the extra money and risk of damage on local roads ruled them out for me.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audizine.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=10093&amp;cpage=1#poststar t">http://www.audizine.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=10093&amp;cpage=1#poststar t</a</li></ul>

A good solid choice that looks great on the B6 platform.

Default Exactly. Prefer RG-Rs or RS-GTs but the recent BBS price hike made even 18s way too much $$$
Love the 18" RG-Rs but $825/ea is just too much damn money.

I hear you. $855 per wheel and then to have our lovely MA roads chew them up would not be fun.

Default They are forged, can probably take a decent beating.
And I found mine for less than a G for all four. Needed some refinishing though. Still better than 855.
