Not mine, not affiliated, etc.

However, I know some VW and BMW people go nuts over these, so I thought I'd post them here.

I thought there was a feature on this thing a couple 2-3 years ago, actually...

The owner was a drummer in a band or something, had an infinity basslink sub in the car as well?

I wish I had bought some of these before they became 'trendy'... These are now the proto-hipster wheel of choice. (maybe that is why i want them)

They were $99 each for quite awhile in that offset. The lower offset is a bit more desirable.

The lower offset is the same exact wheel but it comes with a spacer.

The spacer has a rubber o-ring in a groove on its centering ring so it stays on the wheel unless you try and pull it off. I still have a few laying around.

I thought it was funny when Ronal USA announced they were discontinuing the Turbo and celebrated by Jacking the prices up $40 per wheel to clearance them out. The plan worked and they sold out in less than two months.

The phase 1 turbos were a great looking set of rollers

I don't care for the embossed lettering on the later wheels

Needs more this because hilarious writing.

These fit on the MX6 and it's been really hard to avoid buying them.

It looiks similiar to the one in the GRM calender a few years back. But the one on the calender was a small bumper.

As a former Dubber, I did go nuts over those wheels. I was lucky enough to buy them for $79 a wheel with free overnight shipping at a local historic race.
