word of advice
it is easier to get the Mk4 Golf GTI 1.8T optional BBS alloys that look the same as the Anniversary wheels.
the problem is that they'll have the wrong size tyres, you need 215/40 16, they are 205/55 16.
Also they are narrower, the Anniversary ones are 7 x 16 the Mk4 ones are 6.5 x 16
Another warning is that these wheels are notorious for corrosion so even if you find a good set, I doubt they'll manage the winter without going off.
You can refurb them but if you want t`o keep the polished rim rather than powder coat the lot, it aint cheap!
Good luck.

I bet your really pissed off, I would be >:( >:( >:( >:(
Like volkswizard says its far easier to find some mk4 style ones, but they are narrower. I would just keep your eye for some on ebay or the classifieds
I found a set Mk3 Anniversay alloys Plus tyres for ?80 but they needed refurbing which cost me ?200, so if you keep looking you should find a set. hopefully.
Is there everything else missing, that should be on a Anniversary?
