nahhh - I read them off my wheels ages ago, and recently posted it on some other thread.

I was trying to work out if I could swop some of my VW wheels with some of my BMW wheels; my memory is crap so I wrote them all down.

Hang on - you asked for 14" crossies and now you are saying bottletops?

I have 2 unused 14" BBS waiting for winter tyres. Need to buy 2 more the set ... funded by selling the bottletops.
Just that I noticed the offset on the BBS was 30 ... thought it was the same as the bottletops.

But thanks for your help.
How's it going with the mudflaps ??

14" BBS are wider - bottletops would be the better winter wheel;easier to clean too

mudflaps? Yeah I got 65 quid for them on Ebay

- no I've hammerited the metal bits, taken the cars inner plastic arches out and waxoyled everything, then realised that the lower fixings need some work; maybe mine were damaged by the old metal retaining straps
