    I only like them if they are wide, the narrow ones look a bit weird.

    16x9 Borbet A's with flat caps and NOT colour coded:

    The best aftermarket wheel for the mk2/Raddo IMHO

    Flat faced and angular - suits the slab-sided angular styling of the car.

    love them, but I can't see the obsession about having the flat caps, they are awful.

    Yeah i love 'em! I really want some 7.5x16 on the front and 9x16 on the back but i dont know how much work is involved with getting em to fit properly and the fact that i'm about to buy a GSXR 600 they'll have to wait

    i think a set of polished merc. wheels will be much better man, although they do look pretty good

    Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't even consider changing mine, always wanted Borbet A's, one of my fave wheels - was just curious to see how popular they are, I'd keep them regardless.

    Accually, They fit quite well on the Vdub. That's a wheel I'd consider for my golf mk2 as well. Good job..:clap:
