^ I made noises about an 18" set on a few threads mate, if they came up at the right price.

However the middle of yours look slightly different  :confused:
Yeah i think the offset is different on the 19's hence the dished effect to the centres?

Those are frikkin gorgeous. If only I had the cash....

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

^ If not me, then I am too dude  :smiley:
Did you find any in the end or did your wheel quest take you elsewhere?

There's a set of these on ebay now for £640 delivered from Wales. Need a refurb to be perfect but they're ET54  :sad1:

That looks like a good deal, don't get many sets of these coming up on e-bay. I got mine for £565 with tyres but they all needed a full refurb, centres and lips. Still I was happy with the cost and the end result and here's how they look  :smiley:
