Not sure of the exact model number cos I won them off a guy on Ebay!! They are only 14' but look quite good (imho)!!

You can try ebay urself or put out a request on here! Hope thats of some help

look i want... want to look nice - not chav... definitely needs lowering but with the amount of speedbumps i face at college and work it needs to be sensible for now....

Ummed and Ahhed for ages over this- was short of cash but wanted something VW, so went for the Sebrings.  Have not regretted it.  Refurbed them myself as they were a bit banged about, but for £35 I couldn't complain.  They come up on fleebay regularly, and VW still sell the centre caps.  Only 15" so no probs on rough roads as long as you stick to the 195/55 tyres. Personally, I think they really suit the car.  Cue torrent of abuse... :smiley: :wink:

I would also rub the steelies down, respray the outer part of rim bright silver and spray the inner black, with a high gloss lacquer finish.

Would look really smart with a lowered car, hardly cost a penny, and if you kept the car looking really claen it wouldn't look like a chav.

You could even do the same thing on those 14" BBS alloys if you wanted.
