ESM have that classic mesh look of BBS and you can't go wrong those...ABT looks good but your tired of those and the Rotiforms are FUGLY and HEAVY..IMHO.

The esm look best by far, but as others have said, they aren't great quality. I think the rotiforms make the car look like a Nissan. Not a fan of the ABTs either. I love five spoke wheels, but those two choices are too soft around the edges for my liking.

I'm leaning towards the look of the ESM's so I vote for a set of BBS LM's... buying once is generally less expensive :)

The ESMs look really cool in person. Challenge is that they don't come in a lot of good fitments. Are you 4x108 or 5x112?

So, are the Rotiforms Darin mentioned the same ones as JP has on the Bugswatter?

I quite like how they look :hide:

They do look good on that avant. Need to do a beret pchop and maybe we'll change our minds.

Those are the same ones except the 17" aren't that concave. I like them a lot in the 18x9.5 wheel. Haven't heard back on them so I'll likely stuck with the ABT wheel.

Ya, the Rotiforms look awesome on that avant - hm... good call on sticking with what you have until you're 100% on the new set.

i like the looks of the esms the best, but what is their quality like? Cheap soft wheels suck, they bend so easily.
current:
-mk4 tdi wagon with some mods
-TDI b3 90q, holset turbo, be strong little connecting rods!
-the turbo tractor
past:
-11 second 90q junker
-20vt swapped 90q winter beater
-efi 20vt 4kq
-way too many other long gone urs's, 200's 4000's, b5's

The ones on the avant are much more concave as mentioned, and also have a dark coating between the spokes... makes them look better
