Hi all was originally wanting these wheels in a 19x8.5 for my CC:

However it turns out these are the wheels I can get:

What does everyone think? Unsure about the lip/bolts and whether they look too agressive for the CC.

I agree, the bolts look too agressive! the top ones look better.

Those Kahn RSC's (top) for sure. Such a hot wheel! Some good low and it will look perfect :)

I wouldn't use the bolts, doesn't suit the "luxury" style of the car.

I believe you can get other wheels that look similar to the Kahn RSC's though.

If I had a choice I would definately get the RS-C single piece (Top). Thats the wheel I thought I was getting however turns out its the 2-piece version (Bottom). Thing is these are original Kahn RS-C two piece rims, legit and only paying $250/wheel...

Guess I can always see how they look and if they dont grow on me, sell for a small profit...

Could also look at Eta Beta wheels.
Bit different but also classy imho.


Also doubt you will be able to make a profit on wheels but that is your perogative.

I'd even consider 20" for a passat CC?

Where on earth are you getting these for 250 a corner too, if you don't mind me asking?

My father-in-law is in the wheel business, the supplier had 6 left (1 was used) and was keen to off-load so we bought the 5 new ones for $1250. Unfortunately (Or fortunately) we thought we were getting the one-piece versions however when they arrived they were the 2-piece (Also more expensive).

They seem to be a pretty well made wheel, question is whether they will suit the CC though.

That was my thinking, the other wheels also look bigger as the spokes go to the outer edge of the rim.

top one for sure BUT bottom looks good too.

PS. If you are looking for a new home for your standard rims, I could accomidate them....just to help you out that is....LOL.

Well storage is an issue at my place...

Seriously the stockies will be for sale. Unfortunately have not been on the forum long enough to post in the sales section...

I've bought a set of these for my R36 when it arrives.
But here is how they look on a CC :-)

Cool, if the price is right and the finance minister gives me the go ahead, maybe we can do a deal!

They are also a nice wheel. Did that include Duty/GST?

Make sure they send two seperate packages at half price each. Anything over $1000 and you'll be asked for 10% from the government before they release them to you.

I've ordered 235 35-19 as that's about a perfect rolling circumference to stock

I usually do when I import my own parts but these are coming in as part of a bulk order.
Duties and GST are included but shipping cost was way down on what I would have paid buying direct.
Marc of iautosport gave me a good price.

I just wanted something a little different to the VMR style wheels (which are very nice though I must say)

Have tried the wheel out on the car. Unfortunately did not have tyres fitted so had to do a bit of Photoshopping to fully get the picture.
