Haven't managed to see him to soeak to him today, but i did do a bit of a search on the web. I didn't find exactly the wheel you pictured, but I did come across something very similar but slightly more recent in the VAG range called SPEEDLINE II

. So whether the ones you are after are just called SPEEDLINE, I don't know.
I will try and get hold of my mate and ask him, but it's hit and miss. You could try asking at the parts department at your local VAG dealer. I did this a couple of years ago when I had a Volvo 850 and wanted to see how much a set of T5 rims would cost _ silly money!

, but they had a catalogue with almost every single Volvo alloy wheel and trim you could think of. Different make of car I know but I'd be surprised if VW didn't have the same info. at hand.
Give it a go mate, you'll know for definite what you're after at least, then trawl ebay and free ads etc for a bargain

.
As for £4995 for a mk3 - even a nice one - thats a bit steep. Yes a lot of motor traders are con merchants, they probably paid less than half that for the mk3 they wanted to sell you. Some traders are better than others, but they're all in it to make money out of you, especially when you trade in
