Those are bbs RS and are a dime a dozen on the vw forums. Oh and most can be redrilled to fit almost any 5X? Bolt pattern.

no need to re drill.

just get 5x114.3 5x120 => spacers

or

www.wheelspacers.com

make sure you send him the pcd, hub bore, sizing of spacer, and reason why.

Well they do come in 5X114 so no need for a spacer either. Im guessing he is on rb motoring and looking at those wheels.

There are a lot of fc on here slammed on mesh style wheels. Just look through the black or white thread.
