i toyed with the idea but decided against merc wheels, ive narrowed it down to 2 now - 16" RS's or some very very special 15" wheels

and yes im glad it has all remained a mystery

those wheels are ok, i prefer the 8hole ones though but to be honest on this sort of car you really need some wheels that are a bit special

the other set i have in mind are made by carline and are £1700 wheel only!! ye i expect it will be 16x7.5 allround

plans have changed a fair bit, not having a black headlining anymore....i doubt i will be running BBS either, got some special special wheels inline that only seen on one polo in germany!

the spec of my engine spec is a lot different to yours though, all good!

will you be at ultimate dubs in march?
