Very nice I thought.

I am looking at some Borbet A s and wondered if anyone has them or a photo on a mk 2? Thanks.

they could be brocks... ive got the b2's on my mk3, but it is outside and i cant be assed to go look to compare.  :drool:

the center cap looks like the platin ones, but then again it could just be a wolfsburg one  :undecided:

Thanks for the replies. Don't understand this though. Are these wheels unpopular - is it sacrilege not to go for the BBS look?

No not at all, you go for what you like the look of, it's all down to personal preference and taste.

Myself I love the BBS splits, but they aren't every ones cup of tea.

While I'm at it (I have looked for a FAQ on this but no luck):

My mk2 is lowered 40mm but is otherwise standard (pic in my sig is obsolete). I was wondering what is the widest 16" and 15" wheel I can fit without having to roll the arches. Would a 7.5" wheel be a problem? Thanks again.
