Fair enough...no one ever mentioned, or asked about wheel diameters. As you know, my vehicle is a 4 Motion, but none of the aforementioned stickers are present, so I had to throw myself onto the forum and ask stupid questions...you are also aware that my car came with a set of hand books written in Italian (which I don't read well) and I had to resort to the forum again. Contary to popular belief, MK4s ARE a very rare vehicle over here, particularly in my configuration....more questions were inevitable and there will be more to come, if you can bear with me.
The saga with the wheels has been solved...this morning I collected a burnt out wreck which had blown the motor on a trip from Germany...the subsequent fire burnt the interior of the cabin and killed the driver, his wife and three kids, but did very little damage to the exterior of the car. I got it all for the 10 pound recovery charge, but all I need is the brand new alloy wheels and tires...less than 2000 miles on all of it. What remains of the vehicle will be sold off by me and after consultation with their family in Germany, the proceeds will go to them to use as they see fit.
