Should all fit, yes, and those look like the Le Castellet wheels that were an option (?) on later Mk 2s.  There's one round the corner from me with those wheels and looks good IMO. :smiley:

just done a quick search for le castellet wheels and they do look similar. See how much I can get them for - maybe worth a punt!!!

they are actually called estorils, and are the perfect size for mk 2's!!! some people say these were a rare wheel and they often go for more money than they are worth, so if you can get them (off ebay...i saw them the other day!) they'll be fine. you'll also be able to sell them on easily enough as well if you get bored/get new wheels.

sorry, ATS cups are very popular round here but personally i don't like them on mk2's they look too small unless they have a serious dish. i'd refurb the estorils or mirror polish them. oem+ innit!! :wink:
