Anyone done this or seen pics?  I quite fancy a change for the spring.....

Seems to be fine on PCD and Offset.

Yup, those are the ones!  Hmm- 5mm spacer should cover it?

Yep should be fine with 5mm spacers or even 10mm hubcentric.

Don't like. Think they look cheap. Buuut, the beauty of having your own car is that it's yours...
It's a mk2. Fill it, drive it, enjoy it.  :smiley:

Still wavering!

Would go for black if at all, but g60 steels still wheel of choice. Why I ever sold my pristine original set I will never know.

How much do g60 steelies sell for realistically? Need to get shot of mine once I get my cups finished, what range should I expect to sell them in?

Depends on condition, bought my last set for £60 but that was some while ago and I rubbed down and re sprayed them myself.  Would be interested if yours are up soon..?  Do not need tyres as have a full set of 195/50s waiting.
