What wheels are they?
And 7k that's better than mk2 8vs. I am stunned and now very weary next time I come up to a mk1

Not sure, I'm no expert when it comes to wheels, defo some kind of early BBS motorsport wheel though, couldn't tell you what, someone else might know.

I think the standard rev limit on mine was 6.9 originally but no longer limited so have to be careful not to get carried away.

Early BBS RA's

The ones on the RLR Akai golf in my sig?

Yeah, I thought he was asking about the Akai golf after I mentioned that.  Not sure what they are! A lot of motorsport cars had that style in the 80s.

Think you're right, Just had a quick google and found quite a few similar looking compo wheels from the 80s.... Popular race wheels for dubs, bm's and wide body porsche'.
