Got to say those wheels will really suit the car!

Even though we disagree with pretty much everything in the Mk3 section, i'm still a big fan of everything you've done to this car! :cool: :afro:

Right got the wheels last night and set about fitting them this morning the fronts dont really catch at all but the rears needed triming.Ive took some off the inner arche away and with 2 people in the cars fine but once the weights in the back they satrt to catch so im going to remove more tomorrow I could just raise it slightly job done but I like how it sits at the moment.In the flesh it loks really low and the wheels really suit it only draw back is the centre caps are not the right ones and dont sit flush they still look nice but my dad had a mint set of the proper center caps that fit spot on so Ive dropped them in to be painted pretty lucky really few pictures anyway ill get some better ones once its clean  :wink:

Never seen a mk3 those alloys look good on before, but must say they look spot on, on your car
