2 or 4 imo.
Not sure if the BBS are genuine though, that seems a but cheap to me, also the centre bore is huge, you need 57.1 or an adapter/spigot to fit them.

Yeah I would be very surprised if they are genuine bbs, are usually over double that price, if you really wanted those wheels there are usually loads of reps like that on eBay for the price and ones where you wouldn't have to use wobble bolts to fit,

I'm pressuming that posting on a MK5 Golf site you have either a Golf MK5 or a vehicle from that platform, in which case the CB is 57.1.  :happy2:

As Patrick has said, what colour is your car? The darker wheels look spanking on white and red, imho of course.

The BBS are not genuine. When ever the word 'style' is used in the description it means they are replicas.

My choice would be between 2 and 4 also but it would depend on the color of your car (assume its a MK5 Golf).
Diamond Black 2007 (56) Golf GTI 3Dr DSG ¦ 18" Monza II's ¦ Cruise control ¦ MFSW ¦ Highline ¦ Rear parking sensors ¦ PDT Stage 1 ¦ Forge Twintake ¦ H&R Sport Springs ¦ NQSBBK ¦ R32 Rear bumper ¦ BCS Powervalve Sports R32 style TBE ¦ Valeo LED Rear Lights ¦ Xenon lights with HID kit ¦ DNX521DAB ¦ 12mm Spacers all round ¦

Number 4 are the only ones that look like they'll fit with no messing. The Omanyt reps have a PCD of 120, the CH reps are 114 and the Monza reps are 8.5J, so they may rub. The descriptions are all over the place, too. The R36 reps say they're both 19s and 18s depending on where you look and the Monza reps say they're for a mk4 in the title, but have the wrong PCD for a mk4!

remeber though most after market wheels won't come with the exact centre bore they will be supplied with spigot rings to suit your car
