Searching for some Winter wheels as i'm not wanting to run the cups in the bad weather, Seen a set of Vw Estorial alloys on ebay, anyone recomend these or know of anyting else cheap but good looking for winter wheels.

lol if you polished up estorils good enough then they'd be your summer rims!
Estorils are good, you could also get castellets. Cheaper options would be standard polo rims/alloys.

I thought about a set of the SE mk5 standard alloys for winter running, as i'm on polished lipped RXii's and need some replacement winters.

Just polish the cups weekly and it'd be fine!
I've been running my polished rims for nearly 1.5yrs with that method.

Steel for winter, alloy for summer, you know it makes sence

exactly, Rupie's onto a winner
wellers will be gd all year round and better than expensive alloys during the rough winter months... and also use them in the need of spare wheels ie if somehow something goes horribly wrong with the alloys... but yea wellers are nice, need a good lowered car though, to pull off the look right

Lol that's possibly the worst eBay ad Ive seen. No diameter, no width no offset measurements. No tyre width, profile, size, tread OR brand info
Wellers are very nice and seem to be vastly talked about in the last two months. They can be bought brand new direct for £60 +vat each

Heres Estoril Rims that i have fitted to my 6N. They are polished but could do with a refurb! Just to see if this helps ? ?

I want. Ha.. nah i just want somthing for winter use. If i ran Wellers all year round id buy new ones. I realised the fitment was incorrect after the post. Damn internet keeps going off in the hotel.
