As previoulsy fitted to my car. A smart looking wheel IMO. They look a bit like 5 spoke Comp MO's. Nice bit of dish.
Originally found on the Mk2 Golf Country and I believe as an option on the GTi

A few pics of them on and off the car.

Larger/more pics in this folder.

14x6, ET 38 (maybe 36, can't remember) 3 have tyres/baloons, 205/60/14's. 4x100 PCD.
The tyres aren't ideal, don't catch on the back and I'm down 2", but they do rub on full lock. Some 195/55's etc would make the world of difference. As can be seen, only 3 have tyres. All with loads of tread. At least 5mm.
The wheels would ideally benefit from a light refurb/paint. The faces of the wheels are pretty much OK, just have a very matt (rattle can) finish. They all have a bit of light curbing etc. No chunks missing or anything of concern though.
Would look awesome if the outer lip was polished as they were originally.
£80. Can probably send for £30.
Cheers, Liam.

OK mate. NP. I have them down as provisionally sold on another forum (and now here lol) just let me know the score.
Body coloured spokes or lip FTW and do the rest in black.
I've always wondered how these would look with smaller tyres on.

lol na dont mind,
but if i can get to the bank tomorrow i'll have them. lol
also,
185's will fit fine, have been looking around and 165's will fit, but on a decent size wall in 165 50 i cant find any tyres that size, although they are mentioned all over the net, no tyre places can get them. lol

Aye as said, 185's would be ideal if you don't want any stretch mate. I'd be more after a 165 or something to kill the sidewall though. lol
