A really deep red could be quite interesting anyone want to edit it ? Lol

Silvers deffinitly the best though i think there 8.5 x 18 x et 42 or 52 with a center bore 1mm smaller than our golfs so spacers are a must where its 1mm smaller could i just sand the hub of spacer until it fits or is that a bit bodged lol ?

They look better in silver, they will also need machining to suit a mk4 the bolt holes will be too small.

Well Rover / MG use studs, Golf mk4 is m14 bolts, I would think your looking at around a 4mm difference.

i sure ive seen them on a golf before.

if its just opening up the hole then a drill will work fine. doesnt have to be perfect, the bolt head will still get grip
