They are in good condition no kerbings just need a little clean and polish, with tyres. They are mkII GTi genuine bbs the multispoke cross ones.
Thanks

Yep, about ?80-?100 is ok. Those are the BBS 'RA' type, quite common, but I think the most attractice mk1/mk2 rim! I have a set myself.

Depends where you buy them - if ebay then be prepared for ?120-?150 for RA's. They do look nice on Mk1's though ……….

Settling In

The set off a late mk2 (90 spec) can fetch upto ?200 at shows less tyres
(i have a set on my mk2 16v), but most second hand wheels i've come across are bent, i've just forked out nearly ?800 on and having my rm split rims refurbed (mirror polished outer rims new bolts ,tyres ,and repainted ) only to find out when the tyres were fitted they're bent :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: 8O
so i gotta fork out another ?80 to have 2 straghtened
if you can get them on a wheel balencer so it'll show how bad they are
