Always wanted to run some (love the old steel wheel look) so its kind of a now or never thing Wayne - who knows maybe I wont take to them and end up getting rid........I know they are a lot more heavy etc......dont drive fast anyway as my Mk3 was meant for cuising rather than full out performance

They are to a very high standard - just need paint and pollished hubcaps! :cool:

I do appreciate your veiws though and did a lot of research pro's & cons wise before

- if I do end up selling  at least I know i'll get my money back

Might be wrong, it's late and brain is tired

but pretty sure you'll be 50mm closer to the arch on the front at 75 on the rear. New offsets will be something like 8j et 13, 9j et 0 ish

so yeah, archwork lol

Yep them et are bang on.

You will need flared arches on the rear.

haha yeah definately need to sort the ride height out but at least I can roll around in it with no trouble for now - suprised they didn't poke out more when I fitted them to be honest.....there's even room for spacers! :laugh:
