Is that what I'd get if I have the tyres on that package? If so that looks good, makes it look bigger from the back lol! And what about them Toyo tyres?

Why would I need 205s?

To keep the gearing correct.

I like these, and can get VW centre caps to make them like genuine VW BBSs (lookalikes anyway). Will they fit?

Those 16" alloys (BBS Polo ones) that I didn't win, I've been offered to buy them from the seller because the winning bidder didn't pay up, and he knew I was interested so got back to me.

I'm trying to see if he'd let me do a monthly type payment which seems a possibility, if he agrees, should I go for it?

Seems like this guy I'm in negotiation with is willing for me to pay monthly which I thinks really cool of him to accept, just tryna sort out a price for them now.

I've offered £400 as all wheels have good tread and condition is pretty damn good bar one which could do with a refurb, but I ain't too bothered about that lol!
