Went and had a look at a few scrappys 2 weeks ago, Was just about to give up on the search for winter wheels when low and behold. there just arrived on the back of a lorry a written off rover. Quickly went and said to the guy how much for the wheels i said i Â£100 cash to take them right now , and the deal was done, i was delighted with my purchase!!!!! what a bargin. My catalunyas are going tonight for Â£250.

Very sexy !!

Winter wheels? I'd keep them on for the summer too !!!!

Another gti on RX's......they look fantastic though.

Front looks kind of different with the plate relocated, I hadn't seen that before. Did that involve a new rub strip?

Should do, they are 4x100 but the offset is slightly different.

nope its was just the same rub strip,the plate is stuck on with halfrauds 6mm plate stickers 10 of them. it holds rock solid

i think the wheels will be on for the summer but they could do with a refurb after the winter as there are a few annoying scratches on them

Ah yes, sorry I couldn't see the plate recess upon first glance.

It also goes to show, the gti can look very good without being "slammed" (in my opinion).
