not my bag personally mate, little too rounded on a rallye.

Photoshop is always your friend if you have people that know how to use it  :wink: get some other wheel choices up with some pics of the car

They do some lovely split rims for the Bini that would look awesome on a MKII golf.

The only problem is all the binis run on run-flats and without the sensors you'd never know if you had a flat until the tyre fell to bits. You would therefore need to buy all new non run-flats for the wheels which will be expensive!

My 2pence, you'd want to anyway. The goodyear runflats I had on mine were crap. Swapping them for Pirelli P7000's made a world of difference, especially in the wet!

I agree Dom, just an extra expense to bear in mind that was all.

These are the ones I'm on about.
