*nod* the $250 set of corrado 16-spokes i picked up for my gti was very bent- each one. they balanced, but it wasn't pretty.
i had a local shop straighten them for me for $100/pop- turned out to be an expensive way to get that cool "upgraded oem" look. if i were doing it again, i'd probably go for a set of cheap 15" rotas instead. (but to cross over to that other thread, the car handled fantastic on corrado wheels and 195/50-15 kumhos.) jason wall 1995 240sx 1987 gti-16v ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Yip" <[email protected]> To: "'Volkswagen mailing list.'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2003 5:33 AM Subject: RE: [a2-16v-list] identifying Big brake question > Just be forewarned that both types of rims (16 spoke and BBS) are > quite soft.
