Wouldn't go that far, got mine (sportline version) for under 200 notes.  I think minters don't fetch much more than 300.

blimey! tbh that was a bit of an assumption on my part; i've been looking at some for my mk3 but aint seen any for that sort of money. thinking about getting lenso's myself as they are half the price!

BBS RA's are an old wheel and commonly found on later sportline cabriolets in the same style as shown on my MK1 below and in silver on Mk2's.  Their common fitment is 4x100 so won't go on a mk3 without adapters anyway, unless you have an early 4 stud model?

Lenso at half the price?  second had though right?

Lenso do make some good looking wheels, just note that cheaper copies don't tend to age as well.

i have seen some 5x100 so must have been in production? unless they're imitation..

brand spanking new mate, and when i say half the price i mean of the RA's that i've seen. so about 4/500 quid.
