They look like 15" Mk5 GTi wheels to me Kam.

Looking good! 8)

Yeah thats what I thought. But I was under the impression that MK5's had 5 Stud fitment, dunno why...

Not a fan of 15's on a MK3's, the only two car that get away with it are Krupa's and Dub_Envy's when he had the 15" Pirelli's.

Very nice, I think they suit it... I'm also not usually a fan of 15's on anything pre-mk4, but I think they work really nicely :)

That's because I had rubber band tyres on mine...

I like em. I want em. But I'd have them fully chromed.

Doesn't explain how mine gets away with it though?

Probably because of the large rim, the spokes are pretty small.

Just what I originally intended to do with them wheels!

I'm glad they ended up on a black GT! :D

I love it!
