Hi

The wheels are on the car i am buying. i havent picked it up yet. i Know they are 17" they are either 7/8" on the front and 8/9" at the front. They are defo different sizes at the front and rears. The dish needs a bit of attention, machined and laquered, it wouldnt cost you must at a wheel specialist..

I ran a 16x9" rim on a golf, looked sweet, everyone loved it.

As for a price i would need you to make an offer.

Cheers
