They came off a MK2 GTI and I thought they were BBS RA's, but after having a browse online i'm not so sure now.

these are RA's:

Definitely not RA's. Maybe a set of MiM 1300. Anything stamped into them at all?

They look a bit like those Vauxhall :sick: lookalikes, that don't really look anything like RA's.

....pretty sure KN are not around anymore tho! If they are a set of KN wheels, they should be stamped 'KN' & 'Made in England'. There are copies around of the originals, like with my starmags, but the originals were known for being of good quality, were as the repo's were made of cheaper quality materials!!
