Oh, ok. I thought from what I'd read that the BBS had the valve lip and the Ronal didn't  :rolleye:

Looking at the condition of the wheels in the for sale section I would guess that they were BBS!
I'm not an expert by any means by they do look like BBS to me by the type of valve.
We need someone with a very recent GTI to confirm as they are almost definately likely to have Ronals.

If it's your wheel just look at the back of the spokes and if it's a BBS wheel it will say it.

I would take a pic of the ronal one matey but it's gone back off to get mine back, apparently its somewhere at a dealer in wales  :laugh:.

I'll try and sort out a thread stating the pure differences between the wheels but here's a link to my rant thread which sums up the differences in a slightly confused manner
