Posts: 8,729 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: November 2, 2005	Will do, but be warned, they will most like be dished, 3 piece, and so uber-rare-euro-tuner-sick you will actually vomit I have a thing for Schmidt Modern Lines at the moment Id have to get them in Audi fitment and then bored out to MB centrehole diameter, then mirror polished or part polished part coloured.. Here are some on a mk1 Golf. 16"s are too big for such a car IMHO but on a 201 it'd be sweet.

The Hamster Posts: 2,625 Group: Moderator Member #39 Joined: November 12, 2005	They're no deep dish, but if you don't get these i think i will actually kill you. Rare 16" Carlsson 1/15 wheels: LINK Currently at �100 with no bids. By looking at the ad, the seller clearly has NO idea what he is selling! Or, maybe even these SLK 7 spoke wheels. (though im not sure the thicker spokes would look as good as the thin ones posted above). 7x16 upfront and 8x16 on the rears. LINKY Edited by -V-, Thu Oct 23, 2008 7:02 pm.
