Perhaps some images will help.  I am a pic whore so here is a few to discuss
 

That is one of the nicest golfs I have seen

If I ever get around to doing a project, brown is the colour!

^^^Yeah I love the colour, the chrome sets it off and the fur lined seats, that is such a good touch  8)

Another pic of the Fittapaldi rims, steel wheels on the Jetta and  E30 BBS on a Mk1, I assume they are the E30 rims due to the offset on the front?




HTN  very nice.  TBH these look a little like Rota Rims you find on the Civics in the US

And not very expensive

where would one find a set of them fittipaldis?

Well never say never, as Ebay will always have something eventually. if you check the US version and pleed with someone to ship.

I have bought a fair few things from the states but once the reply i got was. "whats made in the US stays in the US" 8O   ok then…

does my head in. find some random (ok maybe not totally random but not many people run them) wheels and then you cant find any for sale. no wonder BBS are so common with loads for sale everywhere

You should have responded with 'its a pity your troops don't think the same as you'

theres a guy called Broke on cgti he will buy stuff in the states and ship to anywhere in the world as long as you pay him :wink:

Common is an overly used word, popular is more appropriate, expensive and very nice is also usually associated

usually cost more than a 1.1 for a nice refurbed set too :wink:

those porsce fuschs are terrible

Look like plastic rims you can pick up at halfords for about a tenner

Series 1 Ronal turbos 8) , just wish i could find some :cry:

I thought i would share a range of wheels that are available in the UK with an offset that could work.

I was looking at white (due to my car) but you can have them in a range of colours from the factory, black, red, pearl black, white, silver  etc. Including a range of offsets and PCD

Intergrale wheels








These wheels are all made by Compomotive and mostly for Motorsport use so you are not getting poor heavy copies, but lightweight strong wheels.
