ebay bargain
after all the trouble i've had with alloy wheels over the past couple of months i thought i had given up!!
i started looking for a set of steelies to the run the car on whilst my seat alloys were being refurbed!
well there was hardly anything out there but then i found these:
BBS rxII, 7"wide by 16inches, rare wheels off a mk3 golf anniversary gti (later models were fitted with 6.5" wheels)
same offset and PCD and the seller said they were fitted to a mk4 golf that had the 312mm brakes aswell!!
haha yeah i think i may have found a bargain as i bought them for............................................................................................................................................
£112 pounds (with tyres which need changing)
plus £13 to bring them half way so £125 in total!
they need a refurb
but i was counting on that!!
opinions maybe on what colour i should get??

Gloss black powder-coated rims and polished centres
I think a hint of black in the wheels would go nice with the grey of your ibiza.
*EDIT*
Maybe I was wrong about black rims. I played with a picture of my RXII's on photoshop and black rims look poo. So maybe polished rims with a colour-coded centre or diamond-cut centres with black/grey detailing

312s are one of my plans and the guy i bought them off said that they were on a mk4 golf for a while which was running 312 brakes, so hopefully its all good!!
i think most people would like to see them polished lip with colour coded centres and this is probably what i will go for!!
i did think about black but then i changed my mind and the shadow chrome looks awesome but i don't think it would suit the look i'm going for to be honest!
thanks for all ur replies!!
ps-wouldn't mind seeing a photoshop tho Tom or whoever wants to have a go!!
