4x100 ET 35 (I think, wider track than 6n's though). All came with 14's as factory except GTI which had 15's. Most people stick to 15's but some go down as far as 13 and some up as far as 17 (But 17 is a real ball ache!)

Small update. 131,000 miles nwo on the clock, cleaned it for the first time in months and took it on the No-Rice G2B run. Some pics from a mates Mrs.







amd one I took of it.



In other news it needs a service and the front pads and discs are looking a little on the thin side, the rears could just do with new pads.

No trophy for that though which was a shame.

Cool.

I'm thinking I might swap out my Audi A4 for a Polo GTI.
