BBS CH 025 wheels designed for the Mk5 are 18" diameter, 8" wide with an offset of 50mm (18x8" ET50)

Pescara Wheels are 18" diamter, 7.5" wide with an offset of 50mm (18x7.5" ET50)

I think these are the sizes. Hopefully somebody will come along and confirm or correct me.  :smiley:

How anout I throw a third wheel in the mix: the BBS VZ. It is a BBS CH design wheel, despite being coded 'VZ' and is 18" diameter, 8" wide with and offset of 45mm (18x8" ET45). This fits almost flush with the MK5 Golf wheel arch.

A member on here is a trader of BBS wheels and can offer them at great prices.

I think only the CH-Rs have "MOTORSPORT" as they are from (?) BBS Motorsport. IIRC when I was looking the "normal" CHs did not have that text.

Aftermarket BBS wheels (i.e. not Pescara's or Audi Optional Wheels) have MOTORSPORT written round the concave part of the wheel.

This is not an absolute rule (I've saw a Race-prepped Ferarri 360 with aftermarket wheels but no writing on them  :laugh: but it is almost always the case with wheel for mass market cars.

Replica wheels have no rules.  :scared:
