thanks for the input mate  :rolleyes:

i like the 15" low look on the mk3 golfs and as for them looking lost in the arches the original ones look fine with a lowered mk3 and they are 15".

all i gota do is just stretch some tyres im thinking.

and to be honnest mate i honnestly couldnt give a toss if they fake or not i like them and like the look.
if they spider il just sand them down and spray them simples  :laugh:

But these are Enkei basketweave rims with a different offset, hardly the same spec.

Maybe you could get them machined if they don't fit properly.
