are these wheels good? My wife wants to change them!

Hey all, sorry if this is the wrong place for this!

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….

Yeah, get rid of those lights mate, I can't stand them!

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.

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'

Yeh, can't stand the rear clusters also!

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.

Ha… my wife is a wanna be gangst!!! LOL….

Mirror polished?

I've tried with Autosol and it did my shoulder in!!!

i believe they're original castalettes (sp?) they're called and give em a good polish they'll look amazing, dont look too bad as they are now so shouldnt need too much work.

these are what would have originally been on the cabby, le castellets 14 inch... same as above polished up look amazing, had them on mine

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!!

Some all reds would look good on your car, real ones or tinted.

nice one. Off today!

valuable wheel those, forged type. if they're 15" even more rare and desirable!

They look awesome!  I like

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:

They 14's not 15's…   

Someone said they were made or designed by Fuch?

I'm off to polish them today, see what they turn up like!!!

I'll give this a go!!!!

still a nice wheel, and pretty good value wise.
I would be more than happy with a set o those on my cabby

i got mine off ebay for 120 quid no tyres.

When i went to mk1 show at coventry, lad at who parked at side of me was selling 4 with good tyres on here for 100 quid or nearest offer, in the for sale section …

WOW!!!! Cheers for the tip on the polishing kit……
