See if anyone wants to do a swap for your R alloys plus cash? Worth a try.

Really?  :surprised:


Never really liked the R rims but can understand why you want to keep them. No second hand ones flying about in need of a refurb on the bay?

Yeh, even the edition 30 rims are £500 each now !, my plan is to sell my set of pescaras with tyres to fund the BBS, there's no scirocco R rims about at all or I would buy them and get them painted in anthracite
