they look as if the are reps, not genuine ones, well, going off the dodgy non vw centre caps anyway
nice, but there are other nicer wheels out there

i never meant as there was, but the cost of new reps with tyres that suit the car wont be much off the price he is asking for ones which tyres are not suitable and they have never been fitted either
heres that pic your looking for

I really like the Santa Monica alloys and they look in great condition (except the centre caps)
If i didn't still have my TT alloys i'd be tempted with these!!!

spoke to the guy about the first set it luks lyk there is slight water damage in the pics if you look closely and he said they are genuine he put tape of the caps coz he had them on his Seat

golfs use bigger tyres sizes , eg 225/45/17 our car needs either 215/35/17 or 205/40/17 or the speedo will be miles out and the alloys will look like 4x4 wheels lol
