are these wheels good? My wife wants to change them!
But my wifes MK1 Cab has these wheels on it and she wants to 'upgrade' to some black alloys….
I on the other hand like OG things and are trying to convince her they are good wheels….
Are they?
Correct wheels for a MK1 Cab 1990?

Yes… the rear light clusters are coming off for OG ones to be put back on!
Cheers all….

As for the wheels, nothing wrong with them, give them a polish and you'll be amazed how good they look. Ultimately it's personal choice though but polished rims on a black car always look great to me, black on place is a but boring.

But not mega keen on the OG ones! Typical.
I polished the bottom of one (see pic) and it came up well, but are these wheels common? Worth keeping hold of? Correct for the year?
Cheers.

If you get those wheels mirror polished they can look amazing. Someone here has some on a blue rivage and they look great. Black alloys on a black car is a bit gangst'
Ha… my wife is a wanna be gangst!!! LOL….
Mirror polished?
I've tried with Autosol and it did my shoulder in!!!

Go to Screwfix and get yourself a polishing kit - take a couple of hours to clean them and they will look sweet! Cost you about ?25 quid and half a day!!

Remind me of the Porsch rims everyone seems to drool over, but a little less in your face.
If you want rid, I'll take em off your hands! :wink:
