Cheers guys

not really a fan myself but its your car! prob worth it for tyres alone if they're good make :)
-
as above
-
Im not a fan either, but they do make the car look better! £100 aint too bad a price if the tyres are alright either.
-
Keep the tyres and sell the rims and put the money into a nice set of rx2's :evil:
-
I'm loving the Photoshops. :grin: :grin: :grin:
-
personally, ive bought better for less, BUT.... if you can afford it a change is as good as a rest!!!
-
Is it me or is your front o/s tyre looking rather low on air? :undecided:

Have a look around for OEM wheels, you can get some real nice ones for little money. Mk3 GTI wheels should be easy to find and imo look great. My Corrado Estorils cost €150 with 4 good tyres.

Thats a good idea!
@les.tansey Where about you located? I'm selling some standard gti alloys in the classifieds at the moment, so is 16_blu. One of us may be close to you?

GTI wheels will not go on as this is a 4 stud car.

I would if i could find a decent set with tyres for like £250.00, but i know that ain't going to happen, the car only cost £500 so don't want to spend like huge amounts, unless someone wants to give me theirs :wink: :wink: :wink:
im still looking for some or similar on ebay though :wink:

Here are some oem 4x100 wheels:

Have a look in the classifieds on this site too, nice 4x100 wheels come up for decent money pretty often. I think it's always worth waiting for wheels you really like rather than the first and cheapest available. Steelies are cool in the mean time :cool: :grin:
