16" steels to fit mk5 are very rare

Just managed to buy a set of 16" Imolas with 4mm of tread on each for £150 buy it now on ebay. You might say I've overpaid but tbh I wasn't up for messing around with auctions, these are nearby so I can collect and they're the same price as I'd have paid for the set of steelies that were on ebay the other day so I'm really happy and I think they're the official winter wheel for the GTI? - according to ETKA there is a recommended wheel and I think it's the 16" Imola - can anyone confirm?

Funny how us Durham lot are all sorting out our winter wheels. :grin:
-
Got to be done, I couldn't get my car moving at all last winter, thank goodness the school where I work was shut else I'd have been in big trouble!
-
yep - both cars are sorted now. :grin:
storage is a bit of a problem but i'll sort something.
Past 2 years have been a nigtmare - we live on top of a hill on a private road
the gf's BMW didn't move for a month last year. We had only just got the snow off it in Feb when we sold it

Very wise getting them now. The prices will only go up and stock will only go down. Get them while their hot kids.
