u reckon its a worthy upgrade from standard GTI alloys found on 94 onward 8v's and all 16v's?

Solitudes look pretty nice.  Not exciting, but better than the standard gti wheels.  

And as they only came on highlines and some colour concepts they are fairly rare.

I say get them if the price is reasonable.

Also they are much easier to clean than the gti wheels ;D

Easy to clean - thats one of the first things I think about when buying alloy wheels. Had a set of multispoke ones once and they looked great. But when they were in need of a clean they could be a pain. I got rid of them because of that reason. Got sick of the time spent cleaning all the spokes on them.

I was eventually paying my nephew to clean them for me coz I couldnt be bothered!
