Will look for a pic of them and try to explain my idea
However last night a mint set of vw T5 transporter steels came up. They are 17" ones
That would mean a set of 5x100 to 5x120 adapters and adapters don't seem to be cheap lol

Those look amazing. Who polished them for you ? And how hard to keep them like that ?
And are they 16" or 17" ?

I'm not saying people can't do what they want to their own cars... I'm genuinely curious as to why. As a design engineer I don't get form over function. Function must come as a priority imo, hence why I like performance mods but not really a fan of visual ones.
