Finally got the new 17" OEM BBS Madras sports wheels, optional equipment on the 2002-2004 Passat W8. These wheels are very hard to find, only on the minority of W8s equipped with the sports package. When I had the opportunity to buy a new, unused set, I immediately jumped.

 

 

is nice i like!, should of went with the 1.8t and made it a sick sleeper imo.

 

Drove a few 1.8t gls and really I liked the bottem end grunt of the 2.8L, plus I love it's low exhuast note. To add to that, all the "techie" features (memory mirrors/seats, power folding mirrors, heated windshield fluid, rain sensing wipers, climatronic), are only available on the GLX model, which is 2.8L mandatory Have never regretted it. The V6 is still faster than a stock 1.8

 

a chip will fix that, and the 250lbs of torque should make up for the lack of grunt along with it lol. looks nice enjoy

 

Goes very well with the Passat. BBS ftw!

 

very nice! too bad about the trash cans in your pics.

 

Nice. The only thing I dislike about those wheels are the two-piece-ness of it. Not sure if it's really two piece but I don't like that look, otherwise very nice.

 

do they make them in 18"?

 

Represents the love/hate relationship with these cars

 

Those wheels look perfect on your car! Sweet!

 

congrats on the new wheels. I am always into the stuff thats a little harder to find. makes the car more special

 

Lookin' good!

 

Looks great, my neighbor used to have a blue w8 passat with rims like this one it, and how good it really looked, i actually liked t more then my neighbors e class at the time. I would llove to own a w8 one of these days, but i don't konw if id be able to keep up with maintaining the thing ha

 

not a bad looking wheels......
