    Does Anyone know what wheels these are? They're currently on a very original, one owner Mk2. I don't think they're after market, but probably original dealer fit rather than factory fit.

    Anyone know what they're called?

    Thanks.

    I think RH is the manufacturer, they look like RH Cups, but there are a lot of similar designs from different manufacturers. (Also quite a few different versions of RH Cups)

    If you take one of the wheels off you can see what's stamped on the inside. If the car isn't your then it might be worth asking the owner first ;)

    I *believe* the "Cup" style name comes from the Porsche world, where a similar design was fitted to a 911 years ago.

    I know that a lot of manufacturers do a "cup" wheel, even including places like Rota who are more well known for JDM style Drift wheels.

    Cool - thanks for the info.

    I don't suppose they're particularly sought after, are they? I'm keen to change them for a set of Zender Sports.

    I was thinking the other day actually where all those dodgy retro 90s wheels are hiding these days, I always remember wanting a set of tsw venoms!

    It's a Zender kit - complete with 80's spoiler!

    You're one very lucky guy Gareth, I was drooling over that car when it was sale and kicking myself for spending so much on too many cars when I could have had just one perfect golf ;)

    A set of Zender sports would look great but I'm massively biased towards Zender lol

    Matt.

    Cheers Matt,

    I do feel very lucky - it's in almost perfect original condition. I agree about the Zender Sports...
